Amras ke Malai Aloo/ Deep Fried Baby Potatos In Mango Flavored gravy

Potato's are my absolute favorite ,I can eat them everyday and never get tired of them. I always make sure I  never run out of potato's .  This is one vegetable I am well stocked with . I can fix so many quick recipes with potato's and all  these  top mine & my families favorite food list .

This recipe is the master of all potato recipes for me and for everyone who tried this in my house for the first time. It is a combination of many great flavors- mango, fresh cream,kesar,lemon and watermelon & musk melon seeds powdered.The gravy is rich and tastes like no other,I can bet you on this one:)

This is a Sanjeev Kapoor recipe and I can vouch that Sanjeev kapoor's recipes are always fantastic to say the least :)
