Background

Indian-style baby potato roast is an ultimate comfort food and very simple to make. It is very delicious and flavorful. It is my mom’s recipe. She always makes it for me with a combination of garlic-tamarind soup and steamed rice. Potatoes are an easy way to increase the nutrients and fiber in your diet.
