This a favorite meal in our household and sending this to Shama for her event- Family’s favorite food

Whenever I make this sort of gravy with green,the curry is always potato based.This curry featured here is the one that MIL used to prepare often.Very simple ingredients and its ready without any fuss.All you need are a few potatoes,garlic and a bit of seasoning and a lovely garlicky potato curry is ready.This combo of greens and potato curry is a winner hence packing it off to Pari’s Combo event

Healthy cooking….
