KHASTA ALOO (SPICY PAN FRIED POTATOES)



Khasta Aloo (Spicy Pan Fried Potatoes) image

Interesting variation on basic pan fries. Vary the hot stuff to taste. Ghee is definitely preferred but use oil/butter mix if you are stuck. Found the recipe on an Indian mail order website (www.indianfoodsco.com). Prep time assumes you have some potatoes cooked and room temperature already.
