Aloo fry or potato stir fry recipe explained with step by step pictures and video. Alugadde masale palya or potato fry is a very tasty recipe and goes very well with either rice or chapathi. Alugadde fry or potato fry is prepared using potato, onion, tomato, salt and spice powders. This is a very simple and quick palya recipe.
I have many potato recipes on this website like potato rice, potato-onion sambar, potato mosaru bajji, potato palya and sagu, potato paratha, potato bonda, sun dried potato chips, regular potato chips, aloo gobi and aloo-carrot paratha recipes.
Potato is a very tasty vegetable. Potato is very good for growing kids. Here in this recipe, I have not peeled the potatoes. Instead I have washed them well. Because potato peels are said to be good for acidity. I have used 1 tsp kitchen king masala powder, which is easily available in shops. It makes the curry very tasty. However, if you don't have it, you can replace it with 1/2 tsp garam masala powder or 1 tsp pav bhaji masala powder. You can replace it with 1 tsp rasam powder or 1 tsp coriander powder + 1/2 tsp cumin powder too!
You can find many palya or stir fry recipes on this website like kosu or cabbage palya, thondekai palya, southekai palya, sorekai palya, bendekayi or ladies finger palya, bittergourd sweet curry, thondekai palya, Mixed vegetable palya, beans palya, badanekayi palya, Hagalakayi palya, Boodu kumbalakai or ash gourd palya and north karnataka special zunka vadi recipes.
