Spicy Potato Stir Fry

 No matter what I cook or whatever be the menu "daal" is an unavoidable dish in my kitchen. And if I am cooking daal....then there has to be a side dish. I hate repeating dishes. It makes me kind of boring and taste starts being stale. Not everyday...but more often its something new that I try on. Sometimes I make a veggy curry, some times french fries, some days its mashed potato with a very spicy garlic paste. Some days ago I tried this spicy potato fry. As from the name you can understand that its not curry. Its a very dry sir fry and will go very well with daal. It requires a very small amount of oil and spices. But since the spices that I used are itself very much peppered I will advise that start with a small amount and then increase the seasoning according to your taste. And if you don't like it very spicy then you can always reduce the amount of green chilies.
