Sookhe Aloo | Aloo Jeera – a simple flavourful and easy to make potato stir fry
Aloo Jeera, also known as Sookhe Aloo, is a simple and flavorful potato stir fry. It uses basic spices and takes just a few minutes to make. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner as a quick and easy dish.
This vegan recipe goes well with paratha, poori, roti, or dal-chawal. You can also enjoy it as a snack with tea or coffee. Leftover sabji works well as a filling for sandwiches, parathas, or wraps. It is also a good option for travel when packed with poori and pickle.
This recipe is very simple and beginner-friendly. It uses minimal ingredients and requires little effort, making it perfect for bachelors or new cooks.
It is a family favorite in my home. I make it often because everyone enjoys it. I usually serve it with kadhi or boondi raita as a side dish.
How To Make Aloo Jeera | Potato Roast
- Boiling the potatoes -For making aloo jeera I always use boiled cold potatoes , I always keep some boiled potatoes in my fridge and use them for making aloo jeera . The starch of potatoes retrograde and become slightly firm and dense so gives best result.
- If you boil the potatoes and immediately saute or fry them then they may break or got mashed up, so if possible then try to use chilled potatoes to make stir fries with potato .
- Peel the potatoes and cube into medium size pieces , peeling is totally optional, if the skin is fresh , clean and thin then you can keep it intact .
- Heat oil or ghee in a pan (I prefer to use mustard oil , but you can use your prefered oil or ghee ) and add cumin seed, asafoetida and chopped green chili in it and saute.
- Now add the chopped potatoes and stir to mix with the tempering , let the potatoes roast on medium heat for few minutes , so the potato edges gets a nice golden brown colour .
- Now add salt, chili powder, chili flakes, mango powder and coriander powder and mix well and let it roast for a minute.
- Add fresh coriander (optional ) and its ready to serve, enjoy with paratha, poori or daal chawal.
