Alloo Fry

Translated into English this is stir fried sliced potatoes. Since my son is still not eating any beans or lentils, planing a weekday meal for him is becoming rather changing. There are just a few items on his “To Eat” list, & thankfully potatoes are one of them. It is absolutely amazing at how many dishes one can make with potatoes or incorporating potatoes. Subtle changes and inclusion or omission of spices totally change the flavour and tast of potatoes. This dish is so simple and yet so flavourful that it did not make to a serving bowl, it went straight from pan to plate and the rest as they is history.
