Potato Curry

Potato, Actually it isn't my favorite but you know there are 2 advantages of this veggie.. only between you and me ..One, this veggie cooks fast & whatever you add it to it turns just so yumm... and second this keeps my hubby and siblings happy.. Bring's on a bigg Smile... :P

Potato Curry is just an substitute for Dal or any other curry, when you normally get bored of having the same old Dal, Kadi or other curries you can actually make this. Potato curry doesn't need any Dal or curd adding to it, just a simple curry which is made of simple ingredients. This recipe is kinda special to me as this was passed on to my by my mom .. she helped me make this via our first ever video chat. It sounds kiddish right? i know that's what everyone tells me but ... the feeling at that moment in itself is different. So lets start with this thrilling south Indian Dish : "Potato Kolumbhu"
