Suggestion: if you over boiled the potatoes and they are difficult to maintain the shape, do not worry. deep fry the potatoes in hot oil first to make it crisp.

After a long time, made these spicy potatoes as a side with parathas and dum aloo. I kept the skin intact, which gave a nice crisp texture as these were pan fried with spices. I garnished these with onions and pan fried green chillies. I sprinkled some tangy chaat masala and squeezed some lime juice. Yum Yum. Shu and I enjoyed these a lot!!
Make some today, & Enjoy Chatpate Aloo!!
