once done cool and peel the potatoes. chop into even-sized wedges.

crush the garlic and add to the potatoes and toss to smear the wedges with the seasoning
i minced the garlic in my hand mortar and pestle. it takes just 30 seconds to get a nice creamy paste.
meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. place the potatoes on the grill rack. and roast for about 10 minutes each side.
finally, remove from oven and sprinkle some red chilli powder.this is for that final spicy kick. and to satisfy my strong spicy south indian palate!
