Ingredients for Aaloo Fry Spicy Fried Potatoes

  • Chili Powder
  • Turmeric
  • Coriander Powder
  • Cumin Powder

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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
