It combines well with vegetables, and many are the relieved housewives in this country who rely on the old faithful aloo or batata to pep up a boring meal or create a quick snack. While potatoes can be cooked in hundreds of ways, depending on regional taste and inclination, they can also add volume and interest to any number of vegetables. And fortunately, even the fussiest eater will never refuse a potato!Potato is one of my favourite foods.I loved putting this book together....Aloo chaat,Rosti Pizza,Cream of potato soup,Moghlai Aloo,Kapi Cho Potato are just a few of the recipes featured inside.
