Aloo fry/ potato masala

The recipe for this aloo fry is from my friend who is a great cook. I have also learnt a few North Indian recipes from her, but this one in particular is the one I make often, especially when I am pressed for time or crave something spicy.

Ingredients

Potatoes – 5-6 medium

Cumin seeds – 1 tsp

Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1 ½ tbs

Turmeric powder – ½ tsp

Coriander powder – 1 ½ tbs

Hing – pinch

Coriander leaves – finely chopped

Method

Peel and cut potato in cubes or wedges

Boil some water with salt and cook potatoes until just done (do not overcook)

In a kadai/pan, add oil and sputter cumin seeds.( be  generous with oil for this recipe)

Add all the spice powders and fry for a minute or so until the raw smell goes.

Add the cooked potatoes and fry for few minutes until well coated in the masalas.

Add salt if needed and garnish with coriander leaves
