Quick spicy baby aloo/potato fry is one of the simplest, yet tastiest Indian style vegan dry curry you can make!! Using just a couple of spice powders, crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside heavenly roasted potato stir fry is ready in no time.
Trying to come up with healthy and fast dry curries/subzis everyday, sometimes I forget to make this oh-so-easy dish. I had gone to the grocery sometime back and had picked up a bag of baby potatoes to make aloo tikka masala. When I saw leftover potatoes today in the pantry, it struck me that it had been ages since I had made this scrumptious but quick dish!
Baby aloo/potato fry goes best with rice and dalithoy (Indian dal) or even with any Indian bread! It is so tasty by itself that you can even serve them as starters too and floor your guests at your next party and your kids would love this in their lunchboxes!
My other potato dishes you can try are: aloo tikka masala, baked French fries, samosas etc.
Spicy Baby Aloo Fry
20 to 25 baby potatoes
1 teaspoon red chili powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
1 to 1 ½ teaspoons Kitchen King Masala powder (I used MDH brand)
2 to 3 tablespoons of oil
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves/cilantro for garnishing
Step-by-step method:
Wash the baby potatoes clean and cook in a pressure cooker (for 2 to 3 whistles) or in a pan of water till cooked but not mushy.
Cool and peel all the potatoes.
In a deep saucepan, heat the oil on medium high.
Once the oil gets hot, reduce the heat and stir in the chili powder, turmeric and Kitchen King Masala powder.
Immediately, pour in the boiled and peeled baby potatoes.
Add salt to taste and mix well to coat the potatoes with all the aromatic masala powders!!
Increase the heat to medium high and keep stirring for about a minute.
Once the mixture is hot, reduce the heat to medium low, close with a lid and cook the potatoes for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring in between (so as not to burn them).
By this time, you should see the potatoes are well roasted and oil would have separated.
Remove from heat, add the cilantro leaves, give it a quick stir and serve hot with rice and dal or any Indian flatbread!!
