Grilled Potatoes

This is some experiment which turned out fine. Planning to improvise on top of this next time. I'm just penning it down so that I don't forget it the basic recipe.

Ingredients:

  1. Potatoes - 2-3 medium sized, peeled and cut into 1/2 cm thick slices.
  2. Clilli powder - 1 tsp
  3. Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  4. Green chillies - 2
  5. Dhania powder - 1 tsp.
  6. Jeera powder - 1 tsp.
  7. Garlic - 5-6 pods
  8. Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
  9. Salt - 1 tsp.
  10. Oil - 1 - 2 tsp. (optional)
Procedure:
  1. Grind together chilli powder, turmeric powder, green chillies, dhania powder, jeera powder, garlic, ginger and salt with very little water to make a slightly runny paste.
  2. Spread the marinade liberally over the potato slices on both sides and microwave cook them for 3-4 minutes. The potatoes would be more than half-cooked by now. Also, the marinade would have dried and coated the potatoes very well.
  3. Glaze the slices with very little oil (optional) and grill them in the oven for around 5 minutes.
  4. Serve with a cheese dip.
