Aloo/Potato Fry

This is a speedy finger-licking-ly fantastic dish that you can whip up in 15minutes or less! Am a big potato fan, so this is a recipe I use very very VERY often haha. Sometimes I make a bowl of this and I have it without anything else on the side, as my meal! I just drizzle a bit of ketchup and dig my fork in...utterly yummy! :D

Here's what you need:

4-5 potatoes, peeled and cubed small

Put the potatoes in a pot and add enough water to just cover them, bring them to a simmer until they are JUST starting to get tender...don't over-boil, since they are cubed quite small they should be ready within 3-5 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. mustard seeds/rai
1 tsp. cumin seeds
handful of limro/curry leaves, chopped
handful of coriander leaves, chopped
1-2 green chili, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped spring onions
¼ tsp. garlic paste
pinch of turmeric
½ tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. tomato paste
salt to taste
juice of 1 lemon

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil, then add the mustard seeds and the cumin seeds, let them sputter. Add the limro and fry for a sec, then add the tomato paste, garlic and the potatoes. Fry together on low heat, add the red chili powder, spring onions, green chili and turmeric. Keep stirring everything together until the potatoes feel perfectly coated and look done.

Switch off the heat, squeeze the lemon juice and sprinkle freshly chopped coriander and you're done!! Enjoy your yummy quick aloo fry! :)
