Chutneywale aloo ka raita/ चटनिवाले आलू का राइता, a  quick side dish to pair with simple ghar ka khana! In the middle of the week when you are out of fresh veggies or have to deal with some left over food, a quick potato and yogurt with spicy chutney can be refreshing and can boost rest of your week.

With all festivals lined up, this is a quick raita or yogurt dip that is perfect during fasts. Normally raitas are served in a bowl like a dip. This one is served differently with a slice of potato. If using for fasts, avoid chat masala.

Slice boiled potato and arrange them in a serving plate.

In another bowl take some yogurt and add pinch of salt. Whisk it well.

Add a dollop of whisked yogurt on every potato slice.
