Achari Aloo | How to make Achari Aloo | Spicy Potato Roast Recipe | Gluten Free and Vegan

Hi Supermoms, 

'Achar' means pickle and since the potatoes are well roasted in pickle spices, the dish is aptly named ' Achari Aloo'. Potatoes are very popular with all age groups and I have family and  friends who would hug me for making this dish.  Simple and delicious !

You can make it as a starter/stand alone dish or can roll them inside rotis/chapathis/naan. I have earlier shared the Achari Aloo Tacos recipe ( refer to the recipe for step wise pictures) and on popular demand from my readers, I am posting this recipe separately as it will be easier to search this recipe from my blog.
