Middle Eastern cuisine is packed with some amazing vegan dishes. Vegans and vegetarians love middle eastern food. It’s not only about falafel and hummus but a lot more intense and delicious. Batata Harra is a Lebanese dish that is served as an appetizer whenever you dine out in Lebanon. Batata Harra is fried potatoes with a kick of red chili and garlic. 

Spicy food is not very common in Lebanese cuisine, but this one is unique. These are deep-fried potatoes soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, plus they’re bursting with amazing flavors and spices!

It’s an absolutely delicious, simple and easy recipe with minimum ingredients and less cooking time.  It’s and one of my go-to recipes whenever I am craving some spicy hit.
