Potato Fry | Aloo Fry
Pan-fried until the edges go dark and crispy, this potato fry is the kind of dish you eat standing in the kitchen before it ever reaches the table. Dry-roasted with spices and finished with a fistful of curry leaves.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 2 nos Potato Medium
- 7 nos Small onions (Kunjulli)
- 2 tsp Chilly powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- Salt, to taste
- 2 sprig Curry leaves
- 2 nos Dry red chillies
- 2 tbsp Oil
Preparation
Step 1
For preparing the wonderful stir fry, first cut the potatoes into one inch long pieces.
Step 2
Add chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt to the sliced potatoes and keep for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Warm the oil in a pan. (Preferably nonstick pan with wide base so that we can reduce the amount of oil needed).
Step 4
When the oil is hot, add the dry red chillies, curry leaves and the sliced shallots.
Step 5
When the onion has become golden brown, add the marinated potatoes into the pan.
Step 6
Stir in between so that it wont stick to the pan.
Step 7
Cook in medium heat until the potatoes become crispy. Make sure that water has dried up completely.
Step 8
Do not add water while cooking.
Step 9
Very good combination with rice and kachiya moru. The crispy stir fry is a wonderful dish and this alone is enough to food. Both elders as well as kids love potatoes.
Tip
Patience at the dry-roasting stage is everything. The longer you let the moisture evaporate, the more concentrated the flavour becomes.
