Potato fry

The usual way of frying potatoes is by peeling them, cutting them either vertically (French Fries style) or into small cubes and deep frying them in a pan full of oil.

Here is an alternative way - perhaps a little low calorie too!

Ingredients:

Potatoes - 3-4 (depending on the size)
Jeera (Cumin seeds) - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
Oil - 2-3 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Chilli powder - 1 tsp or according to taste

Method:

Pressure cook the potatoes, cool and peel them. Cut them into big cubes (say 8-10 pieces per potato). Take a pan, put 2 spoonfuls of oil, let it boil a bit, and add jeera to it.

Add curry leaves (if you like it, you can also add 1 or 2 pods of garlic, crushed). Now add the potato pieces to the pan and let it fry a bit.

Once the pieces turn brown, remove from fire, take them in a bowl, add salt, turmeric and chilli powder.

Cover it and bounce the bowl to mix the ingredients (without using spoon/ spatula). Serve hot with rotis or rice.
