Instructions
- Begin by grating the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and twist to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hashbrowns.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, tandoori spice mix, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the potato mixture.
- Add the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Press down with a spatula to form a compact layer.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the bottom is crispy and golden. Check occasionally to avoid burning.
- Carefully flip the hashbrowns using a large spatula, or by sliding them onto a plate and inverting them back into the skillet. Cook for another 15 minutes, or until the other side is also crispy and golden.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander before serving. For an extra kick, consider serving with a side of yogurt or mint chutney.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, add finely chopped green chilies or garlic to the potato mixture.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in a couple of tablespoons of yogurt into the potatoes before cooking.
- Serve with a side of poached eggs for a hearty breakfast.
