Aloo Fry

This is the easiest recipe on earth. Just a simple potato fry with minimum ingredients.
Just fry the potatoes crispy and season with salt and red chili powder. That's it.
The regular potato curry is made adding onions and tomatoes. But this one is just a plain fry which is a good side dish with sambar rice or dal roti.

Well you can add other ingredients such as cumin seeds, coriander powder, cumin powder, amchoor ,etc. to make it more spicy and flavourful . However, you can do without all these as well when you really want to avoid all the masalas.


Ingredients :

  • Potatoes ( red or white ) - 3 large
  • Salt - to taste
  • Red Chili Powder - to taste
  • Hing - a pinch 
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Oil - 2 tbsp

Directions

  • Peel and chop the potatoes and soak in water. ( just to save it from turning black )
  • Heat oil in a pan, add hing and turmeric powder.
  • Throw in the chopped potatoes. Mix well and let it cook on medium heat.
  • Do not cover if you want them to turn crispy.
  • Keep stirring occasionally making sure the potatoes do not stick to the bottom.
  • Season with salt and red chili powder. Mix well. 
  • Turn off the heat when potatoes are cooked and crispy and turn beautiful golden.
Serve hot as side to dal-roti or samabr-chawal !!
