Potato is a widely used vegetable all over the world and is readily available throughout the world.It is a boon to mothers as all children are so addicted to this vegetable.It is one of the veggies that can be used for breakfast as poori-masala,for lunch as a curry,for evening tea as aloo bonda,for dinner as chapathi-aloo and also as dessert.Many of us have used potato to make mainly savoury items.I happened to come across this dessert item a few years back and like to share with you all.

I thought it apt for Divya's EVENT
