Get ready by peeling and rinsing the potatoes. Chop the green chilli and coriander leaves finely.

Place the potatoes and water in a pressure cooker. Cook on medium flame for 3 whistles, about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife. Switch off the flame and let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes until the pin drops.
