Aloogedde fry or Potato fry is a quick and easy dry fry which is made usually as a side dish along with Rasam or dal. Potato fry is a dry fry which is spicy and crunchy and and tastes absolutely scrumptious. I also make it on raining evenings like today and serve it hot with the most yummiest rusk chutney and masala chai.
*Aloogedde in kannada = Potato
Ingredients
1/4 kg – Baby potatoes / regular potatoes
2 Tbsp – Oil of your choice
2 tsp – Rasam powder or red chilly powder
1/2 tsp – Turmeric
1 Tbsp – Mustard seeds
Salt to taste
Handful of curry leaves
Fresh coriander leaves
Lemon juice
Method
Boil the baby potatoes in a pressure cooker and peel it off.
If you are using regular sized potatoes, cut them into cubes and soak it in salt water for 1/2 hour. I usually keep the peel when I am using this. But you can choose to peel it.
In a non stick pan, heat the oil and add mustard seed to it. Let it crackle.
Add curry leaves and let it crisp up.
Now add the boiled or cubes potatoes and on high flame toss it well.
If you are using cubed potatoes cover the pan with a lid, and cook it on a low flame till it is cooked well.
If you are using the baby potatoes you don’t need to cover it and cook.
Once the potatoes are cooked add salt, rasam powder and toss it well.
Keep the flame high and toss it regularly and roast it till the potatoes start crisping up and turning nice and golden brown.
Add finely chopped coriander leaves and squeeze half a lemon and serve it hot.
