Indian recipes are full of potatoes even though potatoes came to India only a few hundred years ago, with Purtgalis. We love our potatoes and are pretty proud of our dishes as well. Some potato dishes are creamy; some are crispy, some spicy, and a few are tangy.
What is Jeera Aloo?
Jeera Aloo means cumin seeds and potato. One of the most popular potato recipes across Indian restaurants. Their cooking style is not always the same for every restaurant or home, but the main ingredient remains. This dish is a favorite of my youngest child. She loves the crispy taste and the shape. I like slicing potatoes and cooking them with cumin seeds—the easy side dish of all time. My grandmother used to cook potatoes like that, and we used to call them Potato wheels because of their shape. The shape and size of the potato are not that important; making it perfectly crispy enhances the taste. Cumin seeds give them a rustic flavor. I use minced garlic and red pepper flakes to twist it. A wonderful indeed.
