Recipe for Spicy Andhra Style Potato Fry – Aloo gadda fry.

This Andhra Style Potato Fry – Aloo gadda fry has a story. This happened some time back. My son had lunch at my friend Manasa’s place one day. He generally never says whether he liked the food or not. He just says I had lunch. Yes, it was good. That’s all. But that day as soon as he came home, he was really excited. He told me that “mummy, Manasa auntie gave me some yellow thing to eat. It was so nice Amma. Can you make it for me again for dinner?” I was super excited as he rarely asks, can you make this? can you make that? except for the occasional doughnut or a pizza that he asks me to make. I called Manasa immediately to know what the yellow thing was and it was this famous “Andhra Style Potato Fry – Aloo gadda fry” and the rest is history. I make it once a week for him. The moment he comes back from school and sees this potato fry, and smiles and says yummy! my day is made. Lot of times, simplest dishes are the best dishes and this one fits the bill perfectly. Here is the recipe for an awesome Andhra Style Potato fry.

Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into really small pieces. Its important to cut them small so it cooks faster and crispier.

Take a bowl and add lots of water. Add a tablespoon of salt to the water. Soak the diced potatoes in water for 10-15 minutes. After soaking, wash the potatoes in running water and drain. Set aside.

Heat oil in a kadai until really hot. Just drop a couple of diced potatoes and if it foams and bubbles and fries, the oil is ready. Add in the diced potatoes to the oil. Let the flame be high. Potatoes take time to cook. Occasionally, stir it once or twice. Fry for at-least 7-8 minutes.

The potatoes will slowly start to become lightly golden on the edges. When its starting to become golden on the edges, the potatoes are ready. Remove from the hot oil and drain on a paper towel.

Now we need to season the potatoes.
Now I reveal the secret that makes this Andhra Style Potato Fry amazing. Its the hint of garlic. Just roughly crush some garlic cloves. No need to peel the skin of the garlic cloves. Add it to a bowl. Add the hot drained fried potatoes to the bowl. Add salt and chilli powder. Toss to coat. The heat of the potatoes takes in the flavor of the garlic so well. Its really amazing how such a simple step can really transform a dish like this Andhra Style Potato Fry.

    I have tried some of your recipes.
    The very first being the Thalapakatti biryani which I made with mutton as my husband does not eat chicken. It was a super hit.
    I made the parotta, vegetable kuruma .. and many more. And today I’m going to make this. I love your recipes a lot and the way each one has a small story behind it is really interesting. Thank you.

    Dear sugu sis., its after diwali and the celebration lingers… Just stopped by to tell you tat we made KC murukku. My friend who usually makes murukku hesitated as urad dal s cooked in the recipe.I told her how authentic and guaranteed your recipes are. She agreed. And…..it just turned out awesome.and awesome s not the word.
    We had trouble in mashing the dal to a fine paste using laddle. We used mixi instead. And used the water we get after rinsing the mixi to mix d rice flour and mashed dal wit other ingredients. Followed everything mentioned in your recipe as it is.murukku turned out aromatic ,crispy…mouth feel s so good. Many thanks deary. Pl keep going.
