SMALL POTATO CURRY RECIPE (SMALL POTATO FRY)

This is a recipe sent to me by a reader (Rathy Kumar). I wanted to try it out for long time. But when ever I buy small potatoes, I make small potato biryani. So this time I told myself to try this curry and see. She said this can be done by making balls out of mashed potatoes too, but I wanted to try with baby potatoes only. So made this finally. Her recipe is bit different with spice powder, I made it as a lazy version I should admit. But it was really good and both Aj , Vj loved it. Its very simple and only the skin peeling part is time consuming, you can watch tv or talk over phone to make it easy.

2. Put the flame to low and add asafoetida, red chilli powder, turmeric, dhaniya powder and give it a quick stir. Don’t let the powders get burn, so the oil should not be fuming before you add the powders.

4. Add jeera powder and Roast well in medium flame until oil oozes out and turns golden brown here and there.

Notes

• In the original recipe she sent, she had powdered 2 red chillies and 1/4 tsp jeera and added towards end and made it super spicy and hot.
• She had also garnished with few cashew nuts and feel free to try that..

Serve as an accompaniment for rice with rasam or sambar. You can eat as such too.
