Perfectly roasted spicy potatoes with caramelized onions!
This recipe is my Mom’s recipe. She always make this for me J whenever there is garlic rasam or onion kuzhambu, she makes sure she prepares this. I missed it so I prepared this for myself :D! I love to eat them always. It reminds me of my childhood. 🙂 I am sure she will be happy if she checks this recipe here. I am sure this is a bachelors cooking recipe, as we can make it easily in no time.
All you need to do is to boil the potatoes and roast them with the spice powers and onions. If you don’t have sambar powder just makes the recipe with red chilli powder and turmeric powder.

Yay! I can comment now! 😀 This dish looks scrumptious, Suki. Potatoes are one of my favourite foods, I could honestly eat them for every meal (probably comes from having a father born in Ireland). I love the spices you’ve used here. I bet it smells as good as it tastes. 🙂
Thank u @jess! 🙂
