Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Potato
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seed
  • 5-6 nos. Garlic
  • 2 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garam masala powder
  • Few curry leaves
  • Salt as required

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the potatoes in fresh water. Then peel and cut into small sticks like shown in the figure.Ensure that the potatoes are chopped in almost the same size so that they cook evenly.Place them in a bowl of water for 20 to 30 minutes. The potatoes should be completely immersed in the water.Soaking potatoes in water helps to get rid of some of the starch. But if you have less time on hand then you can skip this step.
  • Heat a heavy thick bottomed pan or cast iron skillet or a non stick kadai. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Splutter mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Then add chopped garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Keep the heat to medium-low. Now drain the water from the potatoes and add them to the pan. Take care as the oil may splutter due to the moisture in the potatoes. Or you can wipe the potatoes dry before adding them to the oil. Add salt and mix them very well with the oil and spread them evenly in the pan..
  • Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes.Stir occasionally.
  • Add the spices.
  • Mix the ground spice powders very well with the potatoes. Saute for 3-4 minutes and turn off the flame.
  • Serve potato fry with roti or as a side dish with dal-rice or sambar-rice combo
