You have no idea how happy  I used to be when mom packed Masala Aloo for lunch in school days. I was quite fussy about other green veggies actually. Anything healthy I was allergic to. Two years of hostel life made be appreciate good things in life including spinach . Offlate I have discovered that Masala Aloo / potato is not only my favorite, but Q’s and other friends as well. It’s super easy and so very tasty. Check it out!

Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Chilli powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 2 tsp
Turmeric – ½ tsp

Coriander leaves – for garnish

1.    Heat oil in a wok and add cumin.
2.    Add diced potatoes as soon as you get the aroma of the cumin.
