Alu Mutter Sandwich

I have become little slow in writing recipes since HE stays away for job during weekdays. So my experiments have become limited as he is not around :). This is quite simple, everyday recipe. Still I am putting it here as it happens to be one of my favorites. Both my brother and husband love it and we have had them so many times at Purohit’s in Ahmedabad. Especially, Purohit became our favorite joint during courtship days.
