Baby Alu Masala Fry - A delicious spiced Baby Potato Veg

We had some Baby Alu's left over after making some Dum Alu. Amma wanted to make an instant recipe from this and so Appa suggested why not make a fry just like how we make Arbi Masala Fry?

So the recipe decided, Amma set out to make this aromatic dish with few twists that would enhance the flavour of Baby Potatoes! Ajwain..Kasuri Methi...perfect balance of spices...very little oil...makes this simply mouthwatering!

1 tsp White Til | Sesame Seeds, dry roasted

To taste Salt

METHOD

In a frying pan, heat oil.
Add jeera, rai, ajwain and curry leaves.
When jeera crackles add all the spice powders and hing. Saute for a minute on low flame.
Add chopped onions and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add baby potatoes and gently mix them well so that all the potatoes are coated nicely with the spices.
Stir occasionally, till the potatoes become slightly crisp. We have added very little oil. In case you wish to make it more crispier, add extra oil.
Add half of the chopped dhania leaves and crushed kasuri methi. Give a final mix. Switch off the flame.
Transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with remaining chopped dhania leaves and white til,
Serve hot.

These taste really superb along with Curd Rice or any Roti | Paratha. A great side dish that can be prepared when you go for picnics.. This is one sabzi when given in tiffin boxes, will surely be completed! These yummy Baby Alu Masala Fry can be had as an Appetizer as well.
