Yesterday’s lunch saw a special Aloo fry. Since I wanted something to be ready very quick I settled for this simple side dish. But, as I chopped the potatoes an idea struck.

Long time back I had made Achaari Paneer. Pickle was an important item in the recipe. So I thought of making use of pickle for the potatoes. A strong gut feeling was that this dish would not go wrong. Potatoes are pair up well with any combination of spices.

I let the potatoes marinate with little curd and pickle and then cook the potatoes with basic tempering. It is that simple. The pickle I used was a traditional Udupi recipe, made by my mother. You can use any choice of your pickle. Basically you will be infusing the taste of pickle into the potatoes.
Try this recipe today. It goes well with rice and roti. A simple, flavourful dish – Achaari Aloo.
