2. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a roasting pan, gently melt the salted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the ground turmeric, black mustard seeds, minced garlic, and any optional chili peppers for added heat.

3. Incorporate Spices: Add the freshly ground cumin and coriander mix to the butter mixture in the roasting pan. Stir well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.

4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for the potatoes.

5. Initial Roasting: Once the spice mixture is combined, place the roasting pan in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. This step helps to activate the flavors of the spices.

6. Add Potatoes: Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and add the potatoes to the spiced butter mixture. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the aromatic blend.

7. Roast Potatoes: Return the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Stir occasionally during baking to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the spiced butter.

8. Test for Doneness: To check if the potatoes are done, insert a skewer into the center of a potato. If the potato easily slides off the skewer when lifted, they’re perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy.

9. Serve: Once cooked to perfection, serve the curried roast potatoes immediately as a flavorful side dish to complement your main course.
