Sambar Baked Potatoes

My husband is a potato lover and he loves baked potatoes. I like making indian style potato dish something like bombay potatoes. There are numerous version of this dish but my favourite has always been the one with chopped tomatoes and with a bit of tamarind juice. I love anything that is of slightly sourish. I will share the recipe one of these days when I decide to make it .. hehe

This version is a bit different, I baked it instead of frying it and I used amchur powder for that sourness. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more chilli powder. But generally it is up to you how much more or less of the ingredients you want to add to the potatoes.
