The first time I had this recipe, was again why I was a kid! The taste has stayed with me all these years. A couple of years back, I decided let’s try making it as a starter. The recipe is perfect as a starter, it has the right amount of tanginess and spice. Cold weather warming snack for sure.  You can have a boil aloo recipe if you have only 4 potatoes! This is the easiest recipe I’ve made I feel. It’s the rainy season here in Bangalore, this is perfect for the cold and clammy weather. If you have cooked potatoes, it is ready in 5 minutes! It is a Sunday Recipe. Don’t all of you have a dish you want to have after you’ve had a cold or cough? Something chatpatta? This is that recipe, for me. I used to have this at the club with my family, they’ve always made this dish with garlic though. Most of my recipes I do not add it, we have never used whole garlic at home! Also, I’ve got new merchandise from IKEA, it just opened in Bangalore. Dad and I went there and got some amazing stuff for the recipes, keep a look out for the next few videos! Want any recipe?
