I bought machine washed potato but I peeled the skin to make the salad look appetizing in the photo. Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a pan and add chilli powder, salt and 2 cups of water. Cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and cook till it becomes dry. Let it cool.

Cut onion into tiny pieces.

Cut green and red chilies  fine.  Small (Thai) red chili is fiery hot but it will give a kick to the salad. .You can deseed them  if you don’t want it to be too spicy.
Chop garlic and ginger very finely or you can grind into a paste and add. I like to feel the ginger pieces in the salad so I add finely chopped ginger. We add garlic and ginger to potatoes to reduce any acid reflux.
Chop  parsley and spring onion finely  I did not use spring onion as I did not have it at that time.

In a glass bowl assemble everything using two spoons and add yogurt. You can taste and sprinkle a bit of salt. The salad is ready. You can have it as it is or serve with rice or any other main dish. If you like you can add mayonnaise instead of yogurt. I like yogurt which is a healthier choice instead of pumping fat into the body. It is a mouth watering salad with thick Greek yogurt. You can store the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 day.
