Weekends make you yearn for a piping hot, satiating meal that can be relished with your ones. Doesn’t it? With just the perfect day to unwind, and my son and husband around, I cannot help but wear my cooking hat and brainstorm a new dish for my boys!

My son being a big fan of potatoes, always ends up convincing me for making umpteen potato based dishes for him. And trust me, people, I cannot help it either because I am yet to meet anyone who hates potatoes, so once in a while, a potato full treat makes sense, right?

So, under the same pretext, I have prepared Bombay Potato, Potato Peas Croquette, Potato Cashew Nut Roast for like a zillion times. Hence, last weekend, we duo decided to try out something different, and from my mom’s quaint book of recipes, I picked up the idea of preparing  Karare Aloo.

Karare Aloo was my childhood favourite. Crisp pieces of potato wedges fried to perfection and tossed with yummy masala made from chilli powder, amchoor powder, served with coriander – that’s Karare Aloo, ladies and gentleman!

Imagine eating it with freshly made parathas or piping hot chapatis and you cannot help but feel blessed for the luxury of being able to relish it, telling you! Apart from its special crunch, Karare Aloo imbibes the special Indian taste which makes feel closer to your motherland and cherish the simplest charm of Indian food.
