Potatoes are made in various ways in many regional cuisines in India. Roasted with whole spices, roasted with garam masala, crisped up with rice flour, curried with tomato curry, paired with other vegetables and so on.
There are also several family recipes with a twist that often become a favorite. These Gujarati potatoes are a variation of the dish one of my friends often had in her tiffin(lunch box) in middle school. Simply spiced with whole spices and finished with toasted sesame seeds or peanuts. This dry Bateta nu shaak is easy and flavorful. These potatoes make a great side or addition to an Indian meal. They also are a fun addition to wraps and sandwiches.
Make these spicy Indian Potatoes. Serve as a side with Dals or Curries or make breakfast wraps with other roasted veggies/spiced chickpeas, crunchy greens and chutneys.

Summer heat has started claiming its casualties. The temperature inside a car even with windows cracked open can reach heatstroke temperature anywhere from 120 to 170 degrees within 15 minutes. Please leave the dogs at home. Dogs cannot sweat and cool down.
Make these into wraps or add to a bowl.
