In all its simplistic glory, Meat Smith (Little India)'s Gun Powder Potatoes ($7) were a sure crowd-pleaser!

Though I am a tad biased since I adore potatoes in all forms, anyone would enjoy the crisp chunks perfectly seasoned with an addictive spice enhanced rub. And couple all that with their refreshing mint raita, the dip manages to balance the heady combination of the sweet, savoury and delicious hint of smokiness.
