Vaquas- Hey I'm back after a long break. We are so close to eid instead of giving away a meat recipe. I decided to break the stereotype and give you a vegetarian recipe. It's my Achari Aloo. It's one of quickest recipes and perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Achari Aloo is a unique recipe, which consists of potatoes wrapped in tangy seasonings to give your tastebuds the ride of their life from eating these potatoes.

WHAT IS ACHARI ALOO?
Achari Aloo is a tangy potato curry. It's extremely flavorful and packed with the most delicious whole and powder spices. It's truly one of my favorite recipes on the blog.
