Cut the potatoes into halves and boil them in a water.
Wait until they are 3/4 th cooked. When you press a fork it should hold the shape. If we over cook the potatoes it will become mushy when we marinate them. This is a very crucial step
In a plate or a bowl add yogurt, salt,kashmiri red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder,turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, kasuri methi leaves, besan and 1 teaspoon oil. Make a paste and keep it ready
Marinate the pressure cooked potatoes with this spice mixture and let them sit for atleast 25 minutes
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a non-stick pan and add the marinated potato pieces
Wait until one side of the potato is roasted well. Carefully turn every potato piece over using a spoon. Make sure all the sides of potatoes are roasted well
This process will take approximately 15-20 minutes
Deliciously crunchy Tandoori Potatoes are ready to be served
I made a simple Coconut Milk based Pulao to go with this potato.
Recipe Notes
I used creamy store bought Yogurt. If you are using homemade yogurt make sure to drain water and then use it for marination
You can also gently poke holes in Potato pieces so that it can absorb the spices better. I forgot to do this step yesterday. Thought of mentioning in Notes for anyone who would like to make the potatoes even more better🙂
Adding a teeny tiny bit of lemon juice while marination, adding some curry leaves while frying them will enhance the taste of Potatoes. Since I didn’t have both these ingredients in stock yesterday I haven’t mentioned them in the recipe above
