Tandoori Aloo (Grilled Potatoes)
If you love potatoes, you will surely cherish this delicious version of Tandoori Aloo. Baby potatoes tossed with a spicy mixture to make a great starter or can accompany any main course; this recipe is an instant winner. I got this one from one of my old cookbooks which my mom gifted me on her last visit.
Tandoori snacks or appetizers are marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture and then baked in the oven or grilled. This is a very famous north Indian recipe served in most of the restaurants across Delhi.
For best result I would recommend marinating it for 4 hours.
Note :Â Tandoori aloo (grilled potatoes) taste best with baby potatoes, but you can make these with regular potatoes too. Also alternate you could also substitute the spices by store bought tandoori masala.
