    Potato Curly fries are also called Aloo lachcha namkeen in India,it is a snack which we all have grown up with. It is perfect for chaat (street food) especially lachha tokri chaat and farali chivda. Some people love to eat it just as it is, others like to have it with some bread and sauce. Some like it spicy some plain,others in different flavors. In short, you can never stop eating this Sindhi namkeen.

    I cannot remember how many Haldiram aloo lachha packets have gone inside me till date! After all we didnt have French fries as kids, we grew up on occasional treat of Haldiram lachha namkeen.Potato lachha is super tasty as it is fried. Thus, as we grow older, we do limit either by choice or by doctor's advice. There is no harm having it once a while. The problem here, is ye dil mange more!

    Hence, here is an aloo lachha recipe which is not deep fried, but made in air fryer. Yes, it is still as tasty and crispy. Yep, you can thank us later , first indulge in it!

    • 1 large potato Around 200gms
    • 2 teaspoon olive oil
    • ¼ teaspoon Salt or as per taste

    Instructions

    Notes

    The potato used for this should be a waxy potato. I have used Dutch cream potato, you can use any Russet type of potatoes.
    Once you have made the potato noodles, do not keep them in open for a longer period of time. In case you are cooking in batches, keep the noodles immersed in water and remove the excess water before cooking in the air fryer.

        hi Roma,
        I would suggest to use less water. Also you can break it into smaller pieces once it has been partially cooked and then cook further again.
        Hope this helps.

        Thanks
