I was introduced to this awesome potato chutney bomb recipe by my mother. This recipe has the ultimate combination of ABC – Aloo , Butter and Cheese. Use of ABC :p can transform any mundane dish to superlative. And the spicy coriander chutney just makes this dish too good !!
Potato Chutney Bombs
I have never seen my mother eat street food. Never ever ! but whenever she talked about a fried bread – less potato chutney toast that enjoyed in her college days, I used to be amused.
What exactly was this dish , that moved my usually simple food loving mother so much ? So, I decided to give this potato chutney bomb recipe a try, with my own added twist of course.
Instead of toasting it inside the handheld sandwich toastie device ( if you have had road side toast sandwich in Mumbai – you know what I mean ) I’ve cooked them in an appe/ paniyaram pan and filled them with cheese.
Trust me this bite sized potato chutney bomb recipe is definitely worth a try , and you wont regret making it but if you want to make something healthy – ish you can try my tandoori gobi tikka recipe !!
