Do you know Potatoes are indigenous to South America and was not known to the rest of the world until pretty last in the 16th century. Yeah, it was domesticated way back in the Peru region and was later introduced to Europe by the Spaniards in late 16th century. Interestingly it reached India pretty late, the Portuguese brought potato to India and hence the western part of India calls potato as Batata which is the Portuguese word for the same. Imagine masala dosa without Potato, well that was the reality before India was colonialized.

Anyways today’s recipe is an interesting version of potato, partly inspired from the potato chats sold by street vendors in India. It is a beautiful looking dish, exotic green in color and is darn good to eat. It can go as main course if you serve it with roti or naan or acts as an appetizer if you serve it as it is topped with some raita or sauces.
