These simple potatoes are easy and delicious. This is normally eaten with Puris. If you are living abroad and cooking by your lonesome self, you might not be inclined to spend time making the dough for puris. A friend of mine, Asmita suggested a shortcut option which is to buy a small size packet of flour tortillas and deep fry them! They puff up exactly like a puri would! Perhaps you might enjoy this short cut version of Aloo-Puri!
