Low-fat potato roast

Potato is my husband's favorite vegetable and he particularly likes it in its deep-fried form. But due to the health hazards of fatty foods, I had to go out of the way to avoid these, much to his chagrin. That's when I stumbled upon this idea. He finds it delectable and I don't have to worry about health issues! This dish also became an instant party hit!


Ingredients: (serves 2)

potatoes - 2 large
red chilli powder - 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
garam masala - 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder - a pinch
oil - 2-3 tbsp (just enough for the mixture to coat the potato slices)
salt - 1 tsp (adjust to taste)

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degress (Fahrenheit). Slice potatoes into thin circles. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add turmeric powder, salt, cumin powder, garam masala and red chilli powder. Mix well and add potatoes. Stir well for a few minutes until the oil mixture is coated evenly on the potatoes. Place a foil in the baking tray and spread the potatoes in it. Bake for 15-20 minutes until it turns golden brown and serve fresh.
