Aloo Amritsari is a very popular cuisine of Punjab and normally served in each and every Dhaba or Restaurant. Best served with Naan, Paratha or Poori, it is a blend of potatoes marinated and fried in spices and gram flour followed by another spicy tempering.

Punjabi cuisine has a diverse range of dishes from non-veg to vegetarian, made up of loads of butter, ghee and frying, but it is still famous all over the world. Being a vegetarian, I used to prepare these exotic dishes very often and always prefer to use good cooking oil like canola oil and rice bran oil.
