Now heat oil in a pan and once it gets heated add mustard seeds. Once it starts spluttering, add chopped potatoes and red chilli powder. Mix well. 
Heat should be on medium or lesser than that (water is not added to this dish. Hence we are adding more oil. Those who prefer less oil can reduce it and add water).
