Ingredients
- 250 to 300 grams of potatoes washed and cut, peeling is optional
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- Salt to your taste
- 1 small batch of crushed garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons of Kanda Lasun Masala Onion-Garlic spice mix
- Fresh coriander leaves finely chopped
- Optional: Cumin seeds and curry leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skin on for extra crunch, and cut them into small, even cubes or slices.
- Heat the Pan: Place a pan (an iron pan or tawa works best) on the stove over medium heat and add the oil.
- Fry the Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes to the hot oil. Fry them on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, gently stirring occasionally until they soften and cook evenly.
- Season with Salt: Add salt to your taste. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the potatoes are nicely cooked through and no longer raw inside.
- Add Garlic: Make a small empty space in the center of the pan. Add a few drops of oil and toss in the crushed garlic. Fry the garlic lightly until it turns golden brown and smells delicious.
- Spice It Up: Add 1.5 teaspoons of the onion-garlic spice mix (Kanda Lasun Masala) to the pan. Mix everything well and cook for 2 more minutes on low to medium heat to let the flavours blend beautifully.
- Garnish: Turn off the heat. Sprinkle fresh, chopped coriander leaves over the potatoes, mix gently, and your Spicy Quick Aloo Recipe is ready to serve!
