What is Potato 65?

​​Potato 65 isn't a classic dish in itself, but one of the variations used as a vegetarian version of the spicy Chicken 65. The potatoes are the right replacement as their starchy nature makes them the perfect item to get that crispy skin with the rice flour. Except for that, the insides remain moist and fluffy, giving the perfect mouth feel that a 65 recipe requires. The major flavour in this recipe comes from the red chillies powder that is added to the final tadka or can also be added to the flour marination.

    Expert Tips

    1. Do not over boil the potatoes as they might disintegrate while frying.
    2. Fry them on high heat patiently as potatoes take time to crisp up.
    3. The butter milk should be reduced to the exact consistency to which you want the sauce.
