Tandoori Aloo or Potatoes are nothing but potatoes marinated in hung curd and a few spices. Traditionally they are cooked in a large clay pot called Tandoor or oven. It is a wonderful recipe for weekend brunches, gets together and for that matter any occasion.
We can make this Tandoori Aloo in an oven, air fryer or traditional clay oven.
You can get all the spices mentioned in any Indian store or ethnic food store.
Important tips for making perfect crispy Tandoori Aloo.
1-Make marinade with the proper recipe. The use of colour is optional. Since I don't prefer artificial colours I have not used them. That's why my Aloos are not bright orange colour and it's perfectly fine.
2-You can use any kind of potatoes, just wash them with cold water to remove starch. Boil it with skin on and it should be a little firm.
3.-Never mix oil, and salt during marination.
4-Never overcrowd the baking tray /Pan.
