करि ख़बर

करि ख़बर तूँ मुहिंजा यार – छा चवां मां , कहिंखे बुधायां ।
किथे हुयासी , किथे पहुँतासी – सिँधु छढे॒ हिंदु में आयासी । करि …
पर सिँधी थी , सिँधी रहियांसी – मज़हब मुंझायो सोचियो से कीनकी ।
मुहिंजो ख़ुदा , या मुहिंजो परिमात्मा – समझ न आई भाई । करि …
वकतु अजायो मूँ विञायो , जा॒तुमु कोन मूँ तोखे सांई ।
कढी मंदाई , करि चङाई सभसां – पोइ पसूँ ख़ुदा जे नूर खे । करि ..

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2″ thickness (approx. 3 pieces of each potato). Deep fry the potatoes. When they are half done take them out and place on paper towel. Take one piece at a time, place it on your palm, and gently press it. Again deep fry and take out when the potatoes are crisp. Sprinkle red chili powder, dry mango powder, coriander powder & salt

The easier way is to boil the potatoes instead of frying for the first time. Then cut them into pieces. Gentle press it and deep fry. Once crisp take them out & sprinkle the spices.
