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.

For better understanding please check the video below








Ingredients:

2 Potatoes (thin slices)

1/4 cup Peanuts (roasted and coarsely crushed)

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.
