RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: Removing starch from the potatoes is necessary, if there is too much starch then the potatoes won’t be crispy. You can make the potatoes roastie without boiling the potatoes, you can directly shallow fry it. Boiling the potatoes will make it crispier and fluffier. To make the sweet dahi, add 2-3 tbsp of sugar to 1 cup of sugar. Tips: You can use a flat tava as well to shallow fry, but using a frying pan it will avoid too much splatter of the oil.
