Indian Spiced Potato Fry

Indian Spiced Potato Fry is a simple recipe that my Mum used to serve us with her Bengali Khichdi. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity though. It is so delicious. The spiciness of the potatoes from the dry red chilies, the flavor of nigella seeds and the caramelized onions- it is just a perfect blend of flavors. Do try it and let me know how you like it! @sarchakra
