potatoes crumble fine and the spice powders get so mixed with potato. The final texture looks soft, crumbly, yet crispy and so spicy.
A word of caution that the exact texture will be achieved only if you add a bit more oil and spice. On the whole this tastes great with Curd Rice.
Another important to note is to make this using iron kadai and not a non stick. Though the pictures below is taken with non stick, I made it again in an iron kadai to get the exact texture.
Potato Fry
Ingredients Needed:
Potato, chopped - 1 cup
Salt to taste
Turmeric powder
Red Chili powder
Oil - 3 -4 tbsp
How to make the Potato Fry
Peel the skin and chop roughly. In an iron kadai, add 2 tbsp oil and the chopped potatoes. Add salt and turmeric powder. Simmer and keep stirring.
Sprinkle water on the potatoes and continue cooking on low flame.
After 5 mins, add another tbsp of oil and cook more.
Continue sprinkling water and oil alternatively till you finish all the oil. The entire cooking takes about 40 mins or so on low flame.
Keep scraping on the sides and mix once again. The final texture will be crumbly, some soft, some crispy.
Serve with rice.

My whole family loves potatoes and this curry would be something they would really enjoy. I am too lazy, so I par cook the potatoes in the microwave to expedite the cooking process.
