Notes
- Boil the potatoes well before cutting them. They must be soft and cooked nicely. However, to prevent a mushy texture of the dish, I don't overcook the potatoes.
- Leave the boiled potatoes aside for a while, so that it is easy to cut them into pieces. This will also help the pieces to hold their shape while mixing the spices and chutneys. Cold potatoes will not become mushy.
- Use a wide bowl to mix the spices. This will ensure even distribution and mixing of the spices to the potato pieces or slices to enhance the flavor.
- Use homemade chutneys instead of the store-bought variants to make this dish. Though tamarind chutney and green chutney are used more commonly but you can experiment with other chutneys as well.
