Potatoes , Aloo,  Spuds as they are fondly known by each and everyone are also enjoyed even more ! They are the most versatile and can be prepared instantly in any given form !

Some like them boiled with a dollop of butter or roasted as a part of their Sunday lunch or simply enjoyed in the form of chips or french fries !

The origin of french fries was not in France as an Fyi!

I, personally like them with a bit of jeera ( cumin seeds ) and hing ( asafoetida )  along with moong daal ( yellow lentil curry – will post a recipe soon ) , accompanied by boiled rice or roti . For me, it is the ultimate comfort food and can be eaten any time !

Ingredients:

2 Medium size potatoes, diced

2 tablespoons mustard oil / vegetable oil

salt to taste

1/4 tsp hing

2 tsp Cumin seeds

1 tsp Coriander powder

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

Method:

1. Heat oil in a wok and add hing and cumin seeds and let it splutter
2. Add the potatoes , salt , red chilli powder and coriander powder and mix altogether.
3. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 min, stirring occasionaly
4. Increase the heat and fry for another 5 min
5. Serve it hot with roti/pita bread and yogurt !
