Garlicky potato

As a kid, I had this garlicky potatoes often. My amma used to prepare this for lunch box with any variety rice. This is very simple to do. My kids love to eat with tomato sauce. The garlic flavor mixed with potatoes would taste awesome. If you want more crispier add more oil and cook in a low-medium flame. Turmeric powder gives nice color, if you don't have skip it. 


Ingredients:
  • Potato - 6
  • Crushed garlic - 5 cloves
  • Red chilly powder - 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Oil - 3 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp(optional)

Method:

Wash the potatoes well. Do not peel the skin, cut them into thin round slices. Add the cut potatoes in water to avoid the color change and to remove the excess starch from it. When ready to use strain them in a strainer.

Heat the wide pan with oil, if using mustard seeds add by this time, after it splutters add the crushed garlic. Add red chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt in oil. Immediately add the potatoes. Fry in a medium flame till it get nicely roasted. Serve as side or with tomato sauce.
