Baby Potato Fry – Organically grown

Baby Potatoes Fry: These are organic baby potatoes from Meghalaya that one of my friend has given me. I was excited to look at the size of it. It looked liked the chinese checker coins and was sure that this dish could be attractive for kids. For this recipe, I have used amchur powder and garam masala powder – famous here in mumbai.

With the skin on, baby potato comes with lot of nutrients and no fat. But, the accessibility to this type of baby potato in the local market is a question. Else, you can use the ones available in the market. If you are somebody who loves to grow plants at home, then you can give a try for growing baby vegetables – its worth an effort for all its goodness.

1/4 tspn cummin seeds
