GARLIC POTATO

Most of the dishes I have been making all these years are either from books , friends ,Tv. But this one was shared by my maid Ja when we stayed in Delhi. Ja cooked well and so I got to learn quite a few dishes from her.

I remember Ja. for all the services she rendered to us. The memories of those days come alive when I prepare this dish :)

INGREDIENTS

12-14 egg size or small potatoes. (boiled and peeled but not overcooked)

1 whole pod of garlc(around 15 cloves of garlic)

1 heaped tsp of chilli powder

salt

3Tbsp oil

Method:-

Peel the potatoes.Make a paste of garlic salt and chilli powder, without adding water.



Heat oil in the fry pan. Add the red garlic paste. Fry for few seconds.Do not let it turn brown.





Add the boiled and peeled potatoes. If you want to serve it right away then saute on high flame till the garlic paste sticks to the potatoes. The potatoes become crisp and red hot.






But if you want to serve it later, then after adding potatoes to the paste saute on medium heat for2-3 minutes. Before serving just saute on high heat till potatoes are crisp .If you desire squeeze lemon juice on top or sprinkle chaat masala.
