Khattay Aloo-Memoni Style
Khattay Aloo is another popular Street Food. This spicy and tangy dish is very simple and easy to make. It literally takes me less than 10 minutes to cook it with the boiled Potatoes. This is a perfect side dish to go with your Daal and Rice or any Curries. You can also enjoy this as a Chai-Time Snack.This is a special Memoni style Recipe, with simple ingredients. I also remember that during Ramadan, this dish is sold at the Hawkers on the Roadside in Karachi. I like to have this dish a bit warm but you may also have it cold. It is a quick and easy dish to prepare as a Side dish for a party or High-Tea.Do give it a try, it will surely tantalize your taste buds :)
