The worst part of going on a diet is to avoid Potatoes! Potatoes = Carbs!!! Imagine the odds when it is one of your favorites!! I forget all about Carbs and weight when I dig into this simple and yummy sabji or the dry fry potato. You can try this on one of those days when you are not in a great mood for elaborate cooking and want to wind up quick. I bet, you will love it.
