Ingredients:
2 potatoes, cut into very small cubes or into long thin fingers 4-5 dry red chillies 1 tbsp of oil 1/2 tsp of black mustard seeds 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder 1/2 tsp of split urad dal / ulutham paruppu / uzhunnu parippu
How to Make the Potato Fry:
- Heat the oil and add mustard seeds and urad dal. When the mustard seeds pop, add the potatoes and stir until the oil coats the pieces.
- Cook on low heat, stirring frequently until the potatoes are half cooked. Add the turmeric powder, red chillies torn into halves, and salt.
- Mix and continue to stir fry and cook until the potatoes are soft. The trick is to stop cooking before the potatoes totally crisp up. The outside will be crispy and the insides soft and spongy. Cutting the potatoes into cubes is a better idea for this dish, really. Serve hot. Notes:
