Aloo/Potato Fry





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.

In the meantime prepare:

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 chilli, chopped
2 tbsp chopped spring onions
quarter tsp garlic paste
pinch of turmeric
half tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp tomato paste
salt to taste
juice of 1 lemon

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 chilli powder, spring onions, green chilli 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! :)
