Crispy, fried, potato, what’s not to love with the description, right? And that’s Aloo Tuk for you.

Aloo Tuk is a very popular Sindhi snack or side which is super easy to make but so addictive, you will not be able to stop yourself from taking another piece.

I tasted this yummy dish way back when one of my childhood Sindhi friend called me home over lunch. Sindhi Kadhi, Aloo Tuk, Vegetable Jalfrezi and a few other things were lovingly prepared by her mom.

I still have the taste lingering on my palate of this unusual meal which was very new to me and a very good one at that.

Recently on a trip to Mumbai, my FIL asked the cook to make a meal of Sindhi Kadhi and Aloo Tuk and all the memories came flooding back, after the first bite.

This dish is a keeper guys! Do try it and let me know how you liked it. 

Tips to make best Aloo Tuk

I have used baby potatoes here, but you can cut normal potatoes into thick slices and fry.

Fry the potatoes on medium low heat for the first time so that they are cooked till inside.

Do not overcook the potatoes otherwise they will become mushy.

The second time frying should be on very high heat and drop the potatoes in oil only when the oil is nicely heated up and all the moisture from the first frying has evaporated.

If you want to prepare Aloo Tuk, before hand, fry them one time and keep aside. Keep the spice mixture ready. Once you are ready to serve, do the second frying and serve immediately.
