Achari Aloo

I am not a very big fan of Achaar but got this recipe from Sanjeev Kapoor's video, noted it down and wanted to try it out.... just for trying a new recipe... I finally gave it a shot yesterday... made a few changes to it based on my preferences and it turned out good... a big change from the regular tastes..

Tips This is a dry sabji. You might want to accompany it with some othet wet dal/sabji. I plan to let a little water remain next time to see if this can go by itself.
