Aloo Kari (potato curry) is a traditional Indian recipe from the Punjab for a dish of fried potatoes coated in a lightly-spiced egg batter before being fried.
Ingredients:
12 potatoes
8 dried red chillies, finely ground in a spice or coffee grinder
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
120g ghee or butter
salt, to taste
Method:
Scrub the potatoes clean, but do not peel. Bring a pan of lightly-salted water to a boil, add the potatoes and boil for about 25 to 35 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain in a colander, allow to cool then peel and cut in half.
Beat the eggs well and mix in the ground chillies and a little salt. Combine the turmeric powder and ground coriander seeds in a cup. Add a tablespoon of boiling water and mix to a paste. Beat this mixture into the eggs.
Heat the ghee or butter in a frying pan. When hot, dip the potato halves in the egg mix, add to the frying pan and fry until brown. Remove from the pan, drain on kitchen paper and serve hot with parattas or chapatis.
It can also be used as an accompaniment or side-dish for an Anglo-Indian curry.
