Potatoes, the common domestic ingredient in anyones larder, always comes as rescue when the kitchen is short of vegetables. Potato aka Aloo can be combined with almost all of the vegetables to create an extraordinary dish. Frozen peas, Potato and Fenugreek leaves, together they are one hell of a combination. As our dinner generally comprises of Paranthas and curry. This one came as a delight to both me and my husband. The lip smacking gravy paste (coconut and cashewnut) adds creamy richness to it. Try it out girls and do let me know how it fares in your kitchen. Happy cooking!!
