Tandoori Potato Wedges

 

Gudiya was raving about oven baked potato wedges that are served in her school cafeteria. So I created my version with Tandoori twist. I didn't use readymade Tandoori masala so it doesn't look as "bright yellow orange" since it has not edible color. I used turmeric powder instead, hoping it's better for health than food color.
