- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon Kashmir red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- 4 tablespoon yogurt cashew or almond
- salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon chaat masala
Instructions
- Start by washing the baby potatoes and pressure cook them for 4 minutes in an instant pot. You could also boil them over medium heat on a stovetop for around 8 minutes.1 pound baby potatoes
- Peel off their skin(optional) and poke them with a fork to allow the marinade to seep in. Or dice them into halves.
- In a large bowl, mix yogurt and spices to make the marinade.¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon Kashmir red chili powder, ½ teaspoon garam masala, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, 4 tablespoon yogurt, salt to taste, ½ teaspoon chaat masala
- Toss the potatoes into the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This allows the potatoes to absorb all the flavors.
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F for 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray oil. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.2 tablespoon olive oil
- Check for doneness by poking them with a fork. If they are still firm, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until you get a golden brown texture on top.
- Finally, remove the tandoori aloo from the air fryer and sprinkle some chaat masala on top for that extra tangy flavor. Serve hot with your favorite dip or green chutney.
Notes
- Make sure to poke the potatoes with a fork or dice them into halves before marinating. This allows for better absorption of flavors.
- If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake the potatoes in a baking tray in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can adjust the spice level according to your preference by adding more or less red chili powder.
- Serve the tandoori aloo with some lemon wedges or sprinkle some lemon juice for an added zing.
- Spray olive oil or use a pastry brush to lightly coat the potatoes with olive or mustard oil before air frying for a crispier exterior.
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil lines the air fryer basket for easier clean-up.
