Heat oil in a kadhai for deep frying. Carefully drop in the potatoes in the hot oil, few at a time, and fry on medium heat. When almost done, increase flame to high for a minute and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove on kitchen towel to absorb the extra oil.
4

Heat oil in a pan. Add the finely chopped garlic and saute for few seconds. Add finely chopped ginger and saute.
