Aloo Pyaaz (Potato & Onion Fry)



 I entered My Mom's Kitchen this morning & found Mom to be making this lovely aloo pyaaz for breakfast.



Aloo pyaaz as I remember was a regular sighting in my tiffin box during my schooling days. The lovely contrasting colors of the dish always cheered me and it does till date. ♥

Aloo pyaaz in our home is mostly served with cheela (Indian savoury pancake) when it is not being served with Spring onions & moongdal wadi. The reason being my dad loves cheela & won't be bored even if you serve him continuously for a week but yes, the accompanying side dish must vary n so my mom's menu planning. Kudos to that!

Coming back to the dish, Aloo pyaaz is a very simple n easy to cook recipe that you can make in no time. It requires only two main ingredients and a handful of spices but yet it is a very satisfying dish.

  1. Potato - 2 large
  2. Onion - 3 large
  3. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  4. Green chili - 4 to 5 nos
  5. Curry leaves - 1 sprig
  6. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
