Chatpate Aloo is a quick, easy and delicious appetizer. Serve this as a snack or as a side dish with your main course. I have used baby potatoes in this recipe. You are free to use the large potatoes, cut into pieces. Though, baby potatoes are more appealing to the eyes?. Â Also, I have not peeled the skin of the potatoes as they add a nice flavour to the dish. You can go ahead and peel the skin of the potatoes, if you wish.
