Food Wiki

Experience the delightful Aloo Fry, also known as Potato Stir Fry, through an easy-to-follow recipe accompanied by step-by-step pictures . This delectable Alugadde Masale Palya or Potato Fry is a perfect accompaniment to both rice and chapathi. It involves the use of potatoes, onions, tomatoes, salt, and various spice powders.

Enjoy the simplicity and speed of this quick palya recipe, which highlights the irresistibly tasty nature of potatoes. Potatoes are known for their delicious flavor and are particularly beneficial for growing children. In this recipe, I have chosen not to peel the potatoes, opting instead to thoroughly wash them, as potato peels are believed to help with acidity. To add an extra layer of taste, I have utilized 1 tsp of readily available Kitchen King masala powder, which greatly enhances the flavor of the curry. However, if you don't have it on hand, you can substitute it with 1/2 tsp of garam masala powder or 1 tsp of pav bhaji masala powder. Additionally, 1 tsp of rasam powder or a mixture of 1 tsp of coriander powder and 1/2 tsp of cumin powder can also be used as alternatives.
