Aloo Fry

This is one of the most fast and tasty food my mom make and with perfection and no one can beat my mom or can able to make or reach close to her recipe, the way she makes. I consider myself good cook, but when comes to this recipe, I simply give up.

It depends on cutting of potatoes and time to fry. When i started preparing this fry potatoes, normally most of time turn out very hard (without moisture) and dry, but mom's prepared always well cooked and not that dry, but crispy and tasty. My problem was i use to always fry potatoes for longer time and that take away the moisture and make potatoes very dry, plus we need to add potatoes when oil is good hot and not very hot and this judgment is most important in this potato recipe.

If you add in very very hot, it makes them dry and that step flop this recipe. 

If you add when oil is not hot, then potatoes stick to bottom and make them soggy and will break and don't come in same shape.

Potatoes 350-400 gms (7-8 medium size potatoes, cut into cubes)

Refined oil for frying 250-300 ml
