Stir fry means to cook the food on high heat by stirring constantly. My today's recipe deals with the same. Its Potato and Peanuts Stir Fry. Its a very simple dish and easy to make. You can also call it a one pot dish.
The potatoes, I have sliced them thin, if you cut them thick it would take long to get cooked. And as you are stir frying them, the high heat would burn the masala by the time the thick sliced potatoes would cook. You have to keep on stirring constantly else the veggies would stick to the pan and hence get burnt.
I have roasted the peanuts as it adds the crunch to the dish and also enhances the flavor. Do not powder them completely, crush them coarsely to get the crunchy taste. You can do this manually or in a grinder its up to you. I have done it manually over the chopping board with the rolling pin.

Ingredients:
2 Potatoes (thin slices)
1/4 cup Peanuts (roasted and coarsely crushed)
2 Green Chillies (sliced)
1 Tomato (chopped)
1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder
1 tsp Cumin (jeera)
2 tbsp Oil
Salt
Coriander for garnishing
Method:
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin (jeera) to it.
When cumin (jeera) turns aromatic add the chopped onion and ginger garlic paste to it. Mix well and saute till it turns light golden in color.
Then add in the chopped tomato, mix well and cook till soft.
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, mix well and cook for a minute
After adding the dry spices now its time to add our main ingredient potato.
So add in the potatoes followed by sliced green chillies and stir fry until cooked.
Now its time to add in some crunch. Add in the roasted and coarsely crushed peanuts. Mix well and let it cook for a minute.
Finally garnish it with coriander.
Serve it hot with any bread of your choice. Even puris go well with it. Mix it with rice, would also taste good.
Tips:
The potato slices should not be thick, else it would take long to cook. If very thin, they would break and ruin the entire look of the dish. So they should be appropriate.
Keep on stirring constantly.
Make it for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner it would never let you down. Try this very easy and simple food-a-licious recipe and share your experiences with us via comments
