Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
- 2 pieces green chilies
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size.
Rinse the potato cubes with cold water to remove excess starch. Drain them well and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle and pop for a few seconds.
Add the green chilies and sauté for about a minute until they are fragrant.
Carefully add the potato cubes to the frying pan and stir to coat them evenly with the oil and seeds.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cook the potatoes on medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Fried Aloo hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a main dish with chapati or as part of a larger Indian meal.
