Khatay Aloo (Sour Potatoes)
Potatoes are a favourite food for many children and elders all over the world; personally sour potatoes are one of my son’s favourites. This is an easy, uncomplicated and mouthwatering recipe that comes straight from the kitchens of my mom and generations of expert Pakistani housewives!
