JEEREWALA ALOO

It is a quick and easy recipe which is cooked in my home quite frequently. It is also a very apt recipe for serving when your refrigerator is empty and no other veggies available at your home. Its name itself makes juices flowing in mouth and makes one feel hungry. Simple yet delicious Jeerewala Aloo fry is one of the best quick Indian recipe that can be made in minutes and paired up well with almost all Indian breads. This easy vegan recipe of Jeerewala Aloo uses very routine Indian spices which are easily available in our pantry. As this dish name says, there are two main ingredients- potato and cumin seeds [jeera]. I made it little spicy because I love extra spicy food but you can totally reduce the spiciness according to your taste. And do remember that we are also adding green chillies too….I hope you will definitely give a try and please let me know your experiences and suggestions if any.
