Instructions
- Start by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling and cutting them into cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk until well blended to create a smooth marinade.
- Add the potato cubes to the marinade, gently mixing to ensure that all the potatoes are evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for more flavor, refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you have skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated potato cubes onto the skewers, or arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the potatoes lightly with oil to enhance their crispiness during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving hot.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade for a smoky taste.
- Serve with a side of mint chutney or yogurt sauce for dipping.
- You can also add bell peppers or onions to the skewers for added color and flavor.
