Aloo or Potato is a common vegetable cooked in every household in various varieties across the world. It is so humble vegetable that it doesn't require much ingredients to make it and mixes well if added with any other vegetable.
Today's recipe is my take on aloo fry with an addition of a spice powder. Last week i happened to visit Basavangudi and Gandhi Bazaar with my local friends and they took me to a bakery. Its the famous Srinivasa Brahmin Bakery. From there i picked up couple of Podis (Powdered mix of Spices) like Sambar Podi, Chutney Podi etc. Today i used Sambar Podi in the fry to give that twist.
Ingredients:
- Aloo / Potatoes 250 gms (Peeled & Cubed)
- Chilli Powder 1/4 tsp
- Turmeric Powder 1/4 tsp
- Sambar Powder (Srinivasa Brahmin Bakery) or any Sambar Powder 1 tsp
- Salt as per taste
- Few Curry Leaves
- Water 1/4 cup
- Oil 2 tbsps
Method:
- Place a pan or a nonstick kadai on the stove and add the oil to it.
- Now add Salt, Chilli powder, Turmeric and add 2 tbsps of water to it that the chilli powder doesn't burn.
- Add the Potato cubes and give it a mix. Add the rest of the water, cover it and cook it on a low flame until the potato pieces are cooked. Now cook it on a high flame till the water evaporates. Take care that the pieces doesn't get burnt.
- Now add the sambar powder, curry leaves and mix it nicely. Switch off the stove.
This goes well with Rice & Rasam or Sambar combo and Roti as well.
Serves 2 people.
