Aloo Ke Masaledar Lachche

Hands down, one of the easiest (and difficult) dishes I've made till now :D But hey, I guess that's what Punjabi food is about, right? ;)

You'll need:

* 1/2 tsp red chili powder
* 8 big potatoes
* 1/2 tsp cumin powder
* 1/4 tsp dry mango powder
* 1/2 tsp chaat masala
* Cooking oil for frying

1. First of, peel the potatoes, wash them & cut them into really think sticks or better, use a good food processor to ease your job :D I did that :P

2. Then, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 min, then change the water & soak again for 30 min. Post which, remove & pat dry on a towel.

3. Now, heat oil in a kadhai on a medium flame. Then, one handful at a time, fry the potatoes, stirring constantly to keep them separate.

4. Once they turn a pale golden (I didn't even know that a color like this existed, till I saw it frying in my kadhai) ;) spread them out on absorbent tissue papers so that the excess oil gets absorbed.

5. Now, mix the red chili powder, cumin powder, dry mango powder & chaat masala together, and sprinkle this on the potatoes while they are still hot.

AKML done!!

TipToEat - You can either have them hot, or even later when they cool; they'll last a week if stored in an airtight container :)
