Spicy Potato fry is a very simple side dish and I would say another version of french fries. But this is shallow fried by marinating potato using chilli powder & turmeric. Curry leaves are used for frying which helps to get a better taste and aroma. Moreover curry leaves when dipped in hot oil spreads out all its medicinal qualities to the oil and it helps to reduce the cholestrol.
Preparation time is very less, so I prefer to categorize this in bachelor cooking 🙂
