Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

In a separate bowl, chop the onions, green bell pepper, garlic, and ginger.

Add the chopped onions and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Dice the tomatoes and add them to the skillet, cooking until they break down, about 3-5 minutes.

Season the mixture with cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the potatoes and mix well.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
