Method
- 1
Fry the Potatoes
Drain potatoes thoroughly and dry well with a clean towel.
- 2
Heat the 2 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over low-medium heat. Fry the potato slices low and slow until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan and avoid stirring too often so the potatoes can form a crispy crust.
- 3
Add Aromatics & Toss
Once the potatoes are almost fully cooked and golden, add the sliced onions and 10 curry leaves directly to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue frying until the onions are soft and caramelised and the curry leaves are crispy.
