Batata Chips Nu Shaak
Completely unique, the Batata Chips nu Shaak is sure to enthrall your taste buds with its amazing crunch and irresistible flavour. Crispy fried potato strips are tossed with sautéed cashews, aromatic seeds and spice powders to make a wonderful shaak that combines beautifully with rotis, puris or steaming hot rice. We would like to warn you though that if there is a delay in bringing the rotis, the shaak will be wiped off the bowl as it is so tasty just by itself! In fact, most of the magic in this Gujarati style delicacy is worked by the sesame, poppy and cumin seeds, which impart not just a brilliant flavour and aroma but also a delectable crunch to the dish. Serve it hot and fresh before the potatoes get soggy.
