Every evening I sit & wonder, "what do I make today?". Soon, I reach for the laptop and start browsing for something "new"! :) Thats how I got this yummy & easy Sindhi snack from Alka's Sindhi Rasoi. Thank you Alka. :)

I learnt that Took Patata (Double fried potato) is generally served with Kadhi Chawal but is also enjoyed as an evening snack. So, here I am starting off with the recipe. :)
