Recipe Notes

 

  • We can remove extra starch present in potatoes by putting sliced pieces in salted cold water.

  • Try not to put a lid on while frying.

  • If you like spice, then add more red chilli powder. And if it's too spicy, squeeze in some lemon juice on top.

  • Adding salt: We can add it towards the end but if added along with potatoes while being cooked, then there are chances that potatoes do not absorb salt and tend to be crispy as salt itself tends to draw out some moisture from potatoes.
