  • Lime juice can be substituted with dry mango powder/amchur powder.
  • For extra crispy potatoes, drizzle a little more oil and continuously stir them for a few minutes more over medium to high flame.
  • The addition of dry red chili adds a beautiful smokey flavor. I have used a non-spicy one, go ahead and use a spicy one if you like. Swap chili with black peppercorns for a chili free version.
  • This is an onion-garlic free recipe. Hence can be served on vrat or upvaas.
  • The ground spice mix can be used in sabzi and dal. It enhances the taste.
