POTATO MASALA FRY WITH LIME

POTATO MASALA FRY WITH LIME: Potatoes has always been one of my favourite vegetables. I just love its taste especially when you season it with salt and chilli. Just these two ingredients and it taste so great. This masala fry has been a result of my love for potatoes, masala and of course the taste and smell of fennel seeds. The smell and taste of the fennel seeds is so kind of addictive. The secret actually is that it has the smell and taste of meat masala. This is the prime ingredient in it. And each time you get the smell, you actually think of the spicy meat curries....yum!

The potato masala fry is a simple and easy thing to make. You may use it as a side dish or use as a salad (when we went to a restaurant they had potato salad and it was made with masala). But that was too hot. The thing that would give a twist to this fry is the use of lime juice. So here is the recipe.

INGREDIENTS

Potato – 1 large

Red Onion – 1 small

Fennel seeds – ½ teaspoon

Red chilli to season

Turmeric powder – a pinch

Garam Masala Powder – 2 pinches

Salt to taste

Lime juice – 5 to 6 drops or the juice of 1 small lime

Oil – 1 to 2 tablespoon

Coriander leaf to garnish

METHOD:

Clean and dice the potato. Thin slice the red onion. 

Take a pan and heat some oil. Add the diced potatoes and salt and cook till almost done. 

Add fennel seeds. Cook till potatoes are done.Add the onions and sauté.

 Add turmeric powder and sauté. Add chilli powder and sauté. Add garam masala and sauté. 

Turn off the stove and garnish with coriander leaves. Drizzle or squeeze the lemon on top. 

  Serve hot!

NB: The chilli powder, garam masala powder and turmeric have to be put and sauté separately so that it gets uniformly spread. Make sure no lime seeds fall into the fry.
