    Alu/Potato used in so many snacks like samosa, alu wada/batata wada, alu kachori and many more. Here I am posting a recipe of masala alu, which I invented :) when I was in hurry. I don't have much time to make any lengthy snack like samosa/batata wada. So I just peel and chopped some potato's, added available spices and cooked till tender. But the recipe turn out very testy and yummy. Try it, I hope you will also like it :) For step by step pictures please visit http://www.vslittleworld.com/2009/09/masala-alu-spicy-potato.html
