It was just one of those days,the vegetable drawer in the refrigerator looked spacious as it rarely does,all the ideas for dinner running through my head also required a run to the grocery store and dinner time was approaching rapidly.Finally in a desperate bid to find something interesting to make I dug through my pantry and found some potatoes.
Yea !! potatoes are always a huge hit in my home and the good thing about them are they are so versatile and can be paired with a lot of different veggies for quick tasty side dishes and they can always be depended upon in a pinch.
This curry is very well liked by all my cousins and friends who have tasted it. I find it a great filling in a sandwich or in a wrap and also great to go with roti's

5.Sprinkle the roasted peanut powder.
Garnish with cilantro.Serve hot with Roti/chapatti (Indian Flat Bread).
Serves approx 3-4.
Notes:
If you like your curry to have more gravy you can add a little more water and cook until the vegetables are soft. Because of the potatoes the gravy thickens a little and it tastes very good with most types of Indian flat bread or even a side dish for plain steamed rice
