While I was passing through the market, I couldn’t help but notice a group of Hausa traders selling fresh potatoes. It had been a while since I last enjoyed some, so I found myself debating whether to buy them or not. Just as I was about to pass, one of the sellers gave me a warm smile and said, "My customer, shey you go buy potato today?" His friendly gesture made my decision easier, I smiled back and asked him to sell me some. He gave me a generous portion at a great price.
While carrying my fresh potatoes home, I was thinking of a unique way to prepare them. Then, I remembered a recipe I once came across online. It looked delicious, and I knew I had to try it. So, in this post, I'll share how I made this simple and flavorful dish!
Below are the few ingredients I used to make it;
Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- 1.5 cooking spoon vegetable oil
- 5 chili pepper
- 1 medium size onions
- 2 fresh tomatoes
- 1 table spoon natural mixed spices
- 1 tablespoons salt
- 1 handful curry leaves
Procedure
First step I took in making this was to get my ingredients ready. So I peeled the potatoes and cut them to my desired shapes in tiny bits

Next I sliced the tomatoes, onions and grated the chili peppers and set them aside
 |  |

Next I put a pot on heat, poured in my vegetable oil for frying pans started frying the potatoes
I fried the potatoes till very light brown (not crunchy)

After frying all the potatoes, I set them aside. Then reduce the oil in the pan, added onions and tomatoes to saute. Next I added the chili pepper, the mixed spices and some salt and stirred properly

Next I added the curry leaves and also stirred it properly, and after a few seconds it was time for me to add the fried potatoes to it.
I stirred the potatoes in and allowed the sauce to mix properly with the potatoes.

I allowed the potatoes to heat up for a few more seconds and it was ready to be served!
I sprinkled some black pepper on it for more flavor
AND it was done!

The dish turned out even better than I expected! The potatoes were crispy yet soft, and mixed with the bold spices and fresh curry leaves every bite was so satisfying. I think this will pair well with a refreshing drink. I certainly loved it and I'm sure it won't be long till make it again!
Thank you all for your time here 🤗
