Potato-Spring Onion Stir Fry


A nice, mild flavored stir fry which I learnt from my mom recently. Simple yet so full of flavor. Give it a try if you haven't already.

You need: 

Potatoes – 1 cup - Peeled and chopped into 1cm cubes
Spring Onion – 4 cups – 1 cm long (both white and green part)
Panch phoran - 1 tsp
Green Chili – 1 no. (slit into half)
Turmeric – ¼ tsp
Salt
Oil- 1 tsp
  1. Heat oil in a pan and panch phoran. Once it crackles add green chili and fry for a minute.
  2. Now add the potatoes, salt, turmeric and fry till they become golden brown. 
  3. Add spring onion and mix well. Cover and cook till almost done. Don't over cook the spring onion as they will loose the crunch and color. 
  4. Serve with hot parathas. 
*Panch phoran (Five spice mix). If you don't have the ready-mix, you can mix the following in equal quantities (I  put lesser fenugreek since its quite bitter) - Saunf/Fennel seeds, Methi/ Fenugreek seeds, Rayi/Mustard seeds,  Kalaunji/ Nigella seeds, Jeera/ Cumin seeds
**If you don't have panch phoran, substitute it with mustard seeds.
