ALOO FRY

Ingredients
4 medium Potatoes chopped into small pieces
1 big onion chopped finely
1 teaspoon mashed Garlic
2 teaspoons Jeera Seeds
2 teaspoon Kasoori Methi

For Masala:

3 teaspoons Besan Flour
1/2 teaspoon Dhania Powder
1/2 teaspoon Jeera Powder
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1/2 teaspoon Chilli Powder
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
Salt to taste

For Seasoning:

1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/2 cup finely chopped corriander leaves

Method

Mix all the ingredients for the masala and keep it aside. In a saucepan, heat the oil and add jeera seeds. Once it splutters, add the chopped onions and garlic and fry them until they are 3/4 done. Then add the potatoes, sprinkle some water and cover it. The potatoes are getting cooked by the steam. This way the potatoes can be cooked without having to use a whole lot of oil. Keep checking them often and add some more water if necessary.

Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the masala and fry for a few minutes more. In the end add lemon juice and chopped fresh corrainder leaves and mix together nicely. Aloo fry can be served hot with Poori or Chapathi.
