Aloo Took



Ok this is by far the simplest of all recipes... Now, who doesn't like potatoes especially the fried one's... We all love french fries right and this, is a more crispier and flavourful potato. Try it and you'll love it. This is just a two ingredient recipe. This is my brother's fav snack.

Ingredients

  • Baby potatoes 
  • Chaat Masala
  • Mint/Pudina Powder (Optional)
  • Oil - For frying

Method

Peel all the baby potatoes and keep them in salt water so they do not turn brown.
Take a medium sized pan and heat the oil. 
Once the oil is hot, put the potatoes carefully and fry them for about 7-10 mins. They should be cooked mid-way (half cooked).
Now removed them on a kitchen towel. 
Take one potato at a time, place in on a kitchen towel. Now fold the towel and press the potato with your palm until it is flat.
Do this to all the potatoes and now fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove them on tissue paper to drain any excess oil and dust them with chaat masala and toss them once for even coating. 
Serve them hot.

A Few Tips
  • If you don't get baby potatoes,  you can use regular ones's and cut them into cubes and follow the same process.
  • I make my own chaat masala. I will do it in a separate post.
  • If you want you could coat them in cornflour for that extra crunch.
