Aloo Masaledar

I’m in love with Potato forever! Anything cooked with this root-veggie is always a hit in my kitchen…

But if I think of making something as a bachelor, I definitely go for simple ‘Aloo Subzi’ everytime, as it’s easy n quick! But to give a change to your tastebuds, try out this easy-to-make ‘Aloo Masaledaar’. I’m sure this will be a super-yummy dish coming out of your kitchen!

SJ’s NOTE:

• When it comes to baking potatoes, I love it! Isn’t it quite easy?? Cut them in shape you want… apply some oil over it and bake them for 20-25 mins… Less efforts n delicious outcome!!!
• I used whole garam masala, but as I’m linking this to ‘Bachelor Cooking‘ event, I skipped listing them here :)
