This is a quick recipe to make and can be served as side dish with plain rice, yogurt rice and chapathi also. It can be made in various methods also with very less no.of ingredients. Nobody need any skill to prepare this dish. So this is also called bachelor's recipe. It takes less than 15mts to prepare.





Let's have a look at the recipe...
Ingredients:
Potatoes- 4 no (medium)
Salt- to taste
Chilli powder- 1tsp
Oil- 1 tbsp

All you need: A non stick pan, spatulla, a microwave safe bowl.
Preparation time- 12 t 15mts
Preparations:
1. Wash and peal the skin of potatoes and slice them into small inch size cubes.
2. Take them into microwave safe bowl, sprinkle some water (30ml) and cover with lid and microwave it about 6 to 8mts. The time may vary from one to other microwave. Just check after 5mts and microwave them if they still need to cook.
They should be tender and crunchy and they also should have their texture but not mushy.
Method:
1. Meanwhile heat the non stick pan, add oil.
2. Add mustard seeds(optional) once they crackle, add potato slices and fry for 2mts by covering with lid.
3. Add salt, chilli powder and turmeric powder, mix well and cook again for 2mts.
4. Check the seasoning, turn off the stove and add dry coconut powder, mix well and cover with lid. After 2mts the dish is ready to be served.
Note:
1. This needs very less ingredients, even you can avoid mustard seeds and coconut powder also. This takes less preparation time and simple but very tasty recipe.
2. For change, you can also add some garam masala or chat masala after turning off the stove, just add them finally, mix well and cover with lid. Then it is more flavorful. You can even add frozen gren peas or capsicum slices which gives a different taste to the dish.
