special aloo posto

This is my husband, Prithwis' favourite recipe. He is an engineer from IIT KGP, a PhD from UT Dallas, Texas. Apart from a being a complete food-freak, he is the most delightful person on earth. You can visit his web-space on http://www.yantrajaal.com, which completed ten years this May
