Fried potato wedges, also known as aloo k chips, bring back delightful memories from my childhood. These delicious snacks are incredibly easy to make and never fail to put a smile on my face. Whether enjoyed at school cafeterias or charming roadside dhabas during travels, the homemade version of these potato wedges never fails to evoke a sense of nostalgia and joy.
Ingredients for Fried Potato Wedges
Potato
I used yukon gold potatoes to make aloo k chips, peeled and washed them then cut into thin wedges. Wash the potatoes before peeling or after, then drain the water before adding any spices. No need to dry the potatoes after washing because we need moisture for the spices to stick to the potatoes.
Spices
This recipe is very simple, I only used salt, red chili, crushed coriander seeds and dried fenugreek leaves. You can also sprinkle chat masala right before serving.
Chickpea flour or besan
Besan is the urdu name for chickpea flour that is an important ingredient. I only used a small quantity because we need a very thin coating. I mixed all the spices and besan, to make a thin batter I added only a small quantity of water to coat the potatoes.
