In the same pan, add oil. Saute finely chopped  ginger and garlic. After a minute add the boiled potatoes, chili powder. Toss well. Add in the garam Masala and roast for a few minutes. Serve with steamed rice or chapathi. 

My Notes:
A yummy quick fix bachelor's special . A simple easy to make on a busy day with less ingredient.
No onions or tomatoes, just ginger and garlic for the flavouring.
Washed potatoes will have no mud sediments and so one can confidently cook with the skin. The smooth skin and the white flesh inside is excellent for roasting.It has a unique flavor and once tried you would prefer potato stir fry with the skin. 😄
Fond memories goes back to  my higher secondary school days. My friend , Geetha, used to bring this as accomplishment for lemon or curd rice. She was with me in the same college, did major in Physics. We all, school friends, sit together and share the day' happenings over lunch. An ever loving memories to mull over.
