Tandoori Aloo- Baby potatoes marinated and stir fried with yogurt and Indian spices

Tandoori Aloo -How ever hard I try to restrict potato in our diet but some way or another it is always present in our menu either in some curry or in a snack as most of the snacks are made with potato and often you can’t replace it with any other vegetable.
I made many starter and snacks with potatoes which me and my family enjoys a lot.
My today’s recipe- Tandoori aloo  is a easy and very delicious starter which can also be served as a side dish. If you don’t get baby potatoes then just use normal sized boiled potatoes and chop into big size chunks.I have grilled them in a non stick pan  but you can also bake in an oven or BBQ them,tandoori aloo taste great anyways.
