If you’re looking for an easy side dish, look no further than these tasty Indian potatoes!
This dish is a powerhouse of flavors, and is delicious served as an appetizer or a side dish.Each potato gets coated with a combination of earthy, spicy and tangy spices , which makes this a crowd-pleasing starter.

They also pair really well with most Indian curries, lentils and meat dishes. And the best part is whether you make them in the Instant Pot, Oven or Air Fryer, they are ready in 30 minutes, most of which is hands-off cooking time.
