Notes -

1. You can use baby potatoes and leave them whole instead of big potato chunks.

2. When roasting the masala, make sure your gas is low. Do not let it burn. It takes some time to roast one after the other patiently. But that's what gives delicious flavor.

3. You do not need any oil for roasting spice and coconut.
