- 1-2 tablespoons Oil any cooking oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Chaat Masala
- Fresh Coriander Leaves finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: First, wash, peel, and cut your potatoes into medium-thick slices or wedges. Wash them again to remove excess starch and pat them dry.
- Heat the Pan: Place a tawa (griddle) or a flat frying pan on the stove. Add a little oil and let it get nice and hot.
- Cook the Potatoes: Carefully place the potato slices on the hot tawa. Cook them on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip and Sauté: Keep stirring or flipping them every few minutes so they cook evenly on all sides. These potatoes cook very quickly.
- Add the Spices: Once the potatoes are cooked and tender, turn the heat to an absolute low. This is very important to ensure your spices don't burn.
- Mix the Masalas: Add all the dry spice powders: salt, red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, and the star ingredient, chaat masala.
- Toss and Sauté: Gently toss everything together, making sure each potato piece is well-coated with the masalas. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes on low heat.
- Garnish and Serve: Finally, add a generous amount of freshly chopped coriander leaves, give it one last mix, and turn off the heat. Your Spicy Tawa Aloo Fry is ready to serve!.
