    Such tawa fry can be prepared when you want to make something quick, simple yet tasty. As a snack as well as side dish.

    This was inspired by my vazhakkai tawa fry recipe on this site, and pairs well with sambar or kuzhambu. Check out my Yam roast which will also interest you.

    Ingredients

    These are some of the basic ingredients I used for this recipe but you can use your own spice powders to suit your taste buds.

    ingredients needed
    • Potato - Choose small - medium size potato, not the large ones as it will break and won't do justice to the name 😃
    • Garlic - It gives flavor as well as balances the gastric property of potato. Just adding crushed garlic with skin will be enough.
    • Red chilli powder - I used spicy chilli powder. You can also use mild Kashmiri variety.
    • Turmeric - Adds colour and with pepper it is good for you!
    • Black pepper powder - For flavor, spice and with turmeric it is best!
    • Curry leaves - The humble ingredient that adds a burst of flavor.

    See recipe card for full list and quantities.

    Variations

    • Spices- You can add sambar powder instead of chilli powder. A combination of chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala or even fennel powder.

    This is just a variation of the usual potato fry but I really loved the texture flavor of this one.

    Equipment

    I used my enameled lodge cast iron skillet. Use cast iron or heavy bottomed pan best for this.

    Storage

    Best when served immediately but not that you can't pack it for lunch box. I would not recommend to refrigerate (it would get over in not time actually, no leftovers I promise!)

    Top tip

    • Slice the potato thick.
    • Choose medium or small size potato.
    • Do not over cook.
    • Add spice powders lastly to avoid burnt spices.
    • Do not add more spices.

    FAQ

    Why my potatoes are soggy?

    First cook covered and then cook in open pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Use broad pan. Also too low heat will make it soggy.
