[tscii] Suvai, here is the potato roast recipe.
It will come out well in a non-stick pan.

POTATO ROAST

Ingredients:
500 grms potatoes cut into cubes
2 tsp chillie powder
½ tsp tumeric powder
½ tsp aniseed
4 tbs oil or more
Little asafoetida powder
1 sprig curry leaves
Salt to taste

Method:
Heat oil in a non-stick pan or a well seasoned iron wok.
( You get crispy potato roast)
Add in the aniseed and asafoetida.
Now add in the cubed potatoes, tumeric powder, chillie powder
And salt. Mix all the ingredients well.
Sprinkle some water , cover and cook on medium heat.
Once in a way stir them so that they do not stick to the wok.
See that the potatoes are cooked.
Now raise the heat and keep frying. Add little oil if needed.
You have to scrap the bottom of the wok each time you stir.
Once the potatoes are crisp, add the curry leaves, remove and serve.
