Achari Aloo is a flavorful dry potato dish from North India . Achar in Hindi means pickle, and in this dish , potatoes are tempered with spices usually used to make pickles and hence the name of the dish. This spicy , tangy , flavorful dry potato dish is a treat to the taste buds . Achari Aloo can be served as a starter dish or a side dish and goes very well with hot pooris , rice , chapati or as an accompaniment with Curd Rice. Generally , Mustard oil is used in the preparation of this dish , but i have made the dish in my regular Sunflower oil , as my family does not like the strong flavor of mustard oil. I have not added garlic or onion in this dish, so this is a onion garlic free recipe. The recipe calls for use of baby potatoes, which are more tastier , though you may use regular potatoes in this dish if baby potatoes are not available. To cut down the extra calories , i have boiled the baby potatoes instead of deep frying them. If you too are a fan of the versatile potato , you will surely like this dish. Do give it a try :)
looks so spicy and delicious!
