Masaledar Aloo

This simple dish is so full of flavors that it never disappoints us, add whatever spice you have on hand ,you just cannot go wrong with it. We love  spicy and tangy food and hence use it a lot in our cooking ,the tanginess in this dish comes primarily from dried mango powder or Amchur powder. If you are like us and love the sweet tartness of raw mango ,then try some of this indispenable powder and we are sure you will be reaching for more of it.
