Crispy potatoes is one of the most common dishes in Indian cuisine.

Aloo ka papad is a popular North Indian snack that is usually prepared on special occasions like Holi. They are essentially like sun-dried chips, but a very desi and indulgent version of it.  Papads are usually made with lentils that are mashed in a way that it becomes a fine dough and could be rolled out super thin. To make these aloo papads, you need to knead dough of mashed potatoes, salt, oil and chilli powder. Take small portions and roll as thin as possible. Place them on plastic sheet. Put them out in the sun, once dry, store them in an air-tight box, and when you craving strikes, fry them fresh and enjoy.
