Searching for a unique recipe yet simple for your lunch? Try these cute-looking, hot, and spicy baby potato fries. This recipe yields spicier potatoes, so beware before proceeding.
If you are hanging out for spicier food like me, you are good and have perfectly landed here in the right place.
If my eyes had a glimpse of these baby potatoes, I would never leave without grabbing a bagful.
Though the taste and texture are the same, they cost a little extra compared to the bigger verities. But nothing can be comparable when gulping up the little spicier bomb.
Are hot versions not of your choice? No worries; reduce or avoid red chilies from the recipe, and you are all set to go!!
Deseeding the green chilies could also reduce the heat of the recipe. Curry leaves, green chilies, and garlic complement each other and bring out the beautiful aroma.
This baby potato fry is best served with tomato rice,Lemon Rice, and capsicum rice.
How to make Baby potato fry
Boil baby potatoes in 1½ cups of water. Cook on medium to high heat for about 10 minutes or until it gets entirely inside. Once cooked, remove from the water and bring to room temperature.
Peel the skin of the potatoes. Assemble all the ingredients. Grind green chilies, red chilies, garlic, curry leaves, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and pepper in a mixer to a coarse powder.
In medium flame, heat the pan and add cooking oil. Add baby potatoes and salt. And continue to fry in medium-low heat till the outer skin becomes golden brown.
Now add the ground spice mixer and continue to fry till the spices get cooked and start evolving a beautiful aroma.
Transfer to the serving bowl. Fried rice, sambar rice, and rasam rice are nice pairs. I love to have it as an appetizer, also.
