Batatyaachya Kaachryaa is a simple potato vegetable from Maharashtra. The Marathi name Kaachryaa, implies a stir fry potato (Bataata) preparation which is made slightly crisp. The preparation is fuss free, without the use of any spice powders except turmeric.
Though this vegetable might look very simple, that itself makes it all the more delicious. A good and healthy alternative to deep fried fries, this vegetable can seriously curb such cravings.
These kaachryaa taste absolutely delicious when teamed with some fresh hot phulkas! They taste so delicious all by themselves, that one can't stop popping them into the mouth straight off the pan itself!
