A raw potato is 79% water, 17% carbohydrates (88% is starch), 2% protein, and contains negligible fat . Potatoes are often broadly classified as having a high glycemic index (GI) and so are often excluded from the diets of individuals trying to follow a low-GI diet . This month for the recipe swap challenge I am suppose to cook from Sujata roy’s blog . I have booked marked many recipes from her blog. My boys love potato and hence I chose this Spicy Potato with Tamrind recipe.

Potatoes pair up with tangy ingredients like lemon or tamarind so well. Such a delicious looking dish Preethi. I’d probably just enjoy it on its own.
