Recipe Notes
- Prick the potatoes with fork (only once) for masala getting inside it easily.
- While pricking potato, be gentle and take care not to break the potatoes. Also pricking more than needed will break the potatoes while cooking. So be careful.
- Add oil / ghee as mentioned or little bit more as the rice will be very dry if there is less oil / ghee.
