Masala Aloo

Cut the potatoes vertically into long, thin pieces resembling French fries, keeping them uniform in size for even cooking.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Add the potato fries to the hot oil in a single layer and allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms turn golden.

Stir the potatoes and continue cooking, tossing occasionally, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 8-10 minutes total.

Sprinkle the coriander powder, garam masala, and chili powder evenly over the potatoes.

Add salt to taste and toss the potatoes vigorously for 2-3 minutes to coat all pieces evenly with the spices and allow the flavors to meld.

Transfer the Masala Aloo to a serving dish while still hot and serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
