DRY LAHSOONI ALOO/ DRY GARLIC POTATO

Sometimes most simple food tastes most amazing and that is very true with this garlic potatoes. They are packed with falvors and super simple to do. I just love them and can eat them like a snack. This is awesome and simple  recipe with very few everyday spices yet tastes delicious. This is pure traditional Indian recipe made with fresh spices and masala. You can add chopped green chillies for some extra spice. I don't have baby potatoes but it goes very well with these big bite chunks of potatoes. It is very important that when you make these sukhe lahsooni aloo you keep the flame at medium to medium-low otherwise masala and spices may burn and taste bitter. These are best served as snacks with a light sprinkle of chaat masala. I am addicted to this dish and I am sure that after reading the easy recipe you will also fall for this dish.
