Tandoori Aloo

This recipe is from Tarla Dalal's Microwave Desi Khana, with some modifications by me.

10-12 small baby potatoes

2 tsp oil

1-2 tsp degi mirchi pwd

1/2 tsp ginger paste

1/2 tsp garlic paste

1 tsp coriander pwd

1 tsp cumin pwd

1/2 tsp kasoori methi

3 tbsp yogurt

salt to taste

Wash the potaotes, pierce them with a fork 2-3 times and place around the circumference of the microwave turntable. Place a glass of water in the center to prevent the potatoes from getting wrinkled. Microwave on high for 5 mins till the potatoes are soft. Next mix the dry pwds with the oil in a bowl & microwave for 30 secs. Stir once and microwave another 30 secs. In a glass microwave safe bowl mix the potatoes, oil masala paste, salt, kasuri methi and yogurt together. Marinate for 1/2 hr, then microwave for 2 mins.

I cut some of the bigger baby potatoes into wedges.

Stick toothpicks in each & serve as appetizers.
