Notes

  • Feel free to use any variety of potato in this recipe.
  • Instead of boiling the potatoes, you can either pressure-cook or microwave them.
    • Pressure-cook in stove top cooker with some water for about 3~4 whistles.
    • Peel, dice and microwave with very little water for about 4~5 minutes or until fork tender.
  • You can mix up a double or triple batch of the spices and use it to season grilled veggies or sprinkle on veggie stir fries.
  • This alugadda vepudu tastes best hot or warm. Because that is when it is crispy and delicious.
  • But if you have any leftovers, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can cook in a hot skillet until crispy to reheat to keep restore the crispy texture. Or you can also simply microwave until heated through.
  • Instead of using ground spice powders, you can make a fresh spice powder. Simply combine all of the below spices in a spice blender and grind to a powder.
    • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
    • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 4 dry red chilies
    • 1" cinnamon stick
    • ½ tsp turmeric
    • to taste salt
