What do you do when you are so caught up at work and other things that you forget to do your vegetable shopping? Run to your favorite vegetable, potato, and make something out of it. Simple 🙂 So if you have just potato, onion and tomato, the basic vegetables, you can churn out an awesome dish. To give a basic simple potato curry a twist and make everyone on the dinner table feel “wow”, give it a twist. Serve it with puri rather than your regular roti or paratha. Everybody thinks its an elaborate and filling meal and will thank you for so much of effort 🙂
