TANDOORI ALOO RECIPE

   Potatoes are always find place in all parties and this tandoori aloo recipe is a wonderful starter for a party and can be had as an accompaniment to rice| puloas too. I saw this recipe of tandoori aloo in Laskhmi's place and i bookmarked this and waiting to try this. Last week i got cute baby potatoes from the market and tried this yesterday morning . Tandoori aloo turned out so crisp and yum.
I tried this recipe both in oven and stove top and i was pretty happy with both the results.. Couldn’t take step wise pictures as i was in a hurry and it was a weekday morning. But will update soon with stepwise pictures.
Lakshmi made the tandoori masala by herself and  me being a lazy person didn’t do this and used store bought tandoori masala.
This recipe can be made with normal big potatoes too .
