Aloo Fry

Keeping with our Indian themed kitchen experiences, this week Primary 5S made Aloo fry (South Indian style fried potatoes).

The recipe was quite simple but the taste wasn’t – we all agreed it was delicious!  If you want to make some yourself follow the instructions below.

You will need;

4 potatoes, oil and lots of spices (ground cumin, ground turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander and garam masala which is a spice blend).

Process;

  1. First peel and cube your potatoes then keep these in a bowl of water for 20 minutes
  2.  Put 2 tbsp of oil into a hot pan and place on a medium heat
  3.  Carefully add your potatoes, mix to ensure all are coated in oil and leave to saute for 7-8 minutes
  4. Next add 1/2 tsp of turmeric, 1/2 tsp of chilli powder, 1/2 tsp ground coriander and 1/2 tsp of cumin to your potatoes and stir well to ensure all potatoes are coated in the spices
  5. Fry your potatoes until they are golden and crispy
  6. Add 1/2 tsp of garam masala and cook for a few minutes to allow flavors to blend
  7. Serve and enjoy!
