My whole family loves roast chicken. This time I decided to make desi spiced roasted potatoes. They were so crunchy, fragrant with fluffy centres. I served the desi spiced roasted potatoes with my Desi Yogurt Marinated Chicken. If you want a change up from the normal roasted potatoes, then this is the recipe you have to try!
