Heat oil in a wok, and deep fry the potatoes on medium heat until golden brown. It takes about 10-12 minutes to fry the potatoes. Take out the potatoes on the kitchen paper.
Let the fried potatoes cool down . Now poke the potatoes again with a tooth pick. This time the tooth pick will easily go inside the potatoes.

Add water. Mix well and cover the lid.

Tips
Poked potatoes are soaked in saline water so they can absorb the salt inside . The longer you soak the potatoes the better it would be.
This is a spicy preparation! Reduce the amount of kashmiri chili powder and ginger powder if you want a milder recipe.
