Cajun style Potatoes

Quick and Delicious Crispy Potatoes
_________________________________________





I love Potatoes...seriously. Fries, chips ...who does not like them?. Here is another style of potatoes with a Indian twist. They are crisp and very flavourful.Can be made in 10-15 minutes. Ideal for parties or even for a quick snack.

  6. Rizruby, Thanks for commenting. Yes you can use these as a quick substitute for dosa aalu but may I suggest you add a little water (1/2 cup) and let it cook covered. This will become a little mushy and will taste good with dosas
