Crunchy Potatoes for Durga Puja During the Nine Nights of Navrat

Charishma_Ramchandani's Note:

The festival of Navratri is on (from 19/9/09 to 27/9/09) and I am fasting for all these 9 nights. So, I thought why not share something that you too could have during these nights/days and enjoy your fast. Try and let me know what you think! I learnt about this recipe from Sanjeev Kapoor's show on TV today.
