The most popular recipes are those which are very easy to prepare with minimal ingredients. Tandoori Aloo Bites is one such recipe that you would love to prepare again and again which can also be an excellent appetizer or a starter for any parties or get-togethers. It can be served either with a toothpick as finger food or served as a side dish along with the main course. As a variation, you can also grill the steamed potatoes by marinating them first with tandoori masala for half an hour and then grilling it in the oven as you would do with any other kabab.

Here I chose to steam the potatoes instead of boiling them, as the process of steaming retains the texture, form, and taste of the potatoes. Even if you are planning to grill or bake them, make sure that you always half cook the potatoes before grilling.
