4.now its time to peel the potatoes and once potatoes are peeled then next step .

5.take a kadhai and preferably it should be non sticky as because if its too sticky then u ll be needing more oil which is too much oil is not good and   then it will quicky finish also which u need for another slot of your cooking .
