Spicy Potato Fry
Another simple and excellent Spicy potato fry. You can serve this with rotis or as a side with rice. All in all, the garlic, mustard seeds, cumin and the spices coat the outside of the potato which gives it a beautiful look and makes it worth digging into.
Last week it was the spicy Hasselback potatoes, and this week it’s the spicy potato fry. A spicy potato fry couldn’t be comforting enough. It is something which you might enjoy eating on its own and if you are a potato lover then more the merrier.
A slight squeeze of lemon in the end ups the flavor in a way which you will devour.
This recipe is almost like the roasted cauliflower stir fry which everyone will love.
Finally, if your like added heat, you can chop and add the dried red chilly instead of adding the whole chilly. If you have red chilly flakes, just add that.
If you are using baby potatoes, cut it into four pieces. Cut along the longest side and then divide into further two sections. If you are using big potatoes, cut into wedges.
P.s: Since last week I started a new section below the post which says ‘What I learned this week about Blogging’. If you are interested in blogging it might benefit you. Please find it below the recipe.

Changed my Hosting Company: I moved my hosting company from Bluehost to Siteground after a lot of research. It is definitely faster, cheaper and the customer reps took care of the migration which made my life so much easier.
