Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing a sustained release of energy to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.
As a good source of potassium, potatoes help regulate blood pressure, balance fluids, and support proper heart function.
The inclusion of turmeric adds curcumin, a powerful compound known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which helps combat cellular damage.
Potatoes contain a significant amount of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that is crucial for immune function and skin health.
A single serving of this Potato Fry contains approximately 215-230 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the type of potato and the amount of oil absorbed during cooking.
While potatoes offer essential nutrients like potassium and Vitamin C, this dish is shallow-fried, which increases its fat and calorie content. It is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced meal that includes protein and other vegetables.
For maximum crispiness, ensure you soak the potatoes to remove starch, pat them completely dry, use a heavy-bottomed pan with enough oil, and avoid overcrowding the pan. Also, resist the urge to stir too often, allowing a crust to form.
Yes, you can. Toss the potato cubes with 1-2 tablespoons of oil, salt, and turmeric. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Prepare the tempering separately in a small pan and toss it with the air-fried potatoes and red chili powder at the end.
This dish is a classic South Indian side that pairs perfectly with Sambar Rice, Rasam Rice, and Curd Rice. It also complements lemon rice or can be served alongside chapatis or rotis.
Potatoes can become mushy if they are not dried properly before frying, if the pan is overcrowded (causing them to steam), or if they are overcooked while covered. Ensure they are dry and have enough space in the pan to fry rather than steam.
