Aloo Tuk
Twice-fried potato pieces tossed with turmeric, chilli, coriander, cumin and dry mango powder.
About Aloo Tuk
Aloo tuk is a Sindhi potato dish defined by a double-fry that creates a crisp, craggy surface around a soft centre. This profile follows a straightforward dry-spiced version.
The flavour is warm and earthy from turmeric, cumin and coriander, with chilli heat and the tart fruitiness of amchur cutting through the fried potato.
The potato pieces are deep gold with rough crisp edges and tender interiors, while the dry spice coating remains visible rather than forming a sauce.
