potato is probably the most common household vegetable we all love to cook and eat. Be it curry or stew or paratha, we love to enjoy it in every possible way. As a bachelor, I remember buying potatoes everytime I go to the grocery store as its one of the easiest vegetable to cook with. Not to forget, its got a fairly quick cooking time and the enormous amount of recipes that we can make with potato is just amazing 🙂 Make this Indian style potato fry and pair it with a bowl of warm rice for a satisfying meal!
Today’s recipe is probably the easiest one that I have shared on my website- potato fry! Yes, as simple as that!!!! 😀
The boys in my home love a basic potato fry made with salt, turmeric and chili powder- that’s all, nothing else! Serve this with a hot bowl of rice and everyone’s happy 😀
Agreed, potatoes are high on carbs, but, they also have a good amount of iron, fiber and not to forget the other nutrients that our body needs. Also, potatoes are very healthy for kids. It may not be diabetic friendly, however, we do cook and eat it as moderation is key 🙂
