How to Make Aaloo Fry Spicy Fried Potatoes

  1. Peel and wash 1 lb (450g) potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala, and salt to taste. Ensure potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the oil is shimmering, add the spiced potatoes to the pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender inside.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  6. Serve the Aloo Fry hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite dhal curry or other Indian dishes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
