Find me a person who doesn't enjoy potatos! Potatos are a necessary item to complete a sumptuous meal. This recipe is mini's (my mom) creation. Wonder why we use thair/yogurt/curds in a crisp potato fry? The answer is :- The thair/yogurt/curds gives a slight sourness to the aloo which gives the curry a wonderful taste and doesn't make the sambar/red chilli powder hit your palate. It gives a nice smooth taste instead. It also coats the potato evenly, which makes the potato fry nicely in all sides. My husband loves this curry and so does any kid who has it as they don't find the raw spice hitting their palate. So enjoy and tease your palate with this recipe!
Ingredients:-
To marinate:-
3-4 large potato. Well cooked. chop them in medium sized chunks (don't make them small, as they will break further while cooking).

Marinate the above for 15 min to half an hour.
