Bharat Nisar adds Peri Peri spice mix to Twisted Potato. Pics/Sneha Kharabe

Even in Sunday evening's torrential dowpour, a long queue snakes on a pavement in an Irla lane. And it's not to buy the latest, cheap smartphone or Gulf-imported goodies at Alfa, synonymous with the neighbourhood in Vile Parle (W). Instead, shoppers hungrily eye the Twisted Potato, a dish served at an eponymous stall that cropped up four months ago outside Trendy Taste superstore, two shops away from Alfa 1. An appetising snack, the deep-fried twirls resemble a golden potato ribbon curled around a stick.
