3.Now make space in the center of the pan add the powders add 1 tsp oil when the chili powder turns to deeper color and the smell hits ur nose reduce heat to low gently mix the powders and potato pieces. let it cook in the open pan for another 10 minutes on low flame this helps to crisp the edges without breaking.
Give a gentle mix every now and then so it does not burn at the bottom and finish off by pouring the last tsp of oil towards the edge of the pan.
