If there is one vegetable that is most sought out or liked by all, would surely be the potatoes. Be it whichever cuisine, potatoes are one, that gets featured so often. I remember reading fiction, where elaborate notes were written about how the characters peeled tons and tons of potatoes for each meal. I always used to wonder about it, as Amma would hardly ever make this as fries. It used to be featured mostly as Masal or as Kurma, very rarely as a dry saute.
If I have done them and shared, it will be mostly on purpose or since the time Konda has started eating this. I mostly make this for her lunch. My MW comes so handy and I will be lost if I don’t have it for cooking my Potatoes.
Coming on the series on “Learn to Cook Indian Food”, I thought I would feature this simple dry saute as part of the series for quick learning.
This is a quick way of making these dry sautes and I was impressed when I saw this post and wanted to make it myself.
