Aloo Subzi/ Potato curry

        I know that potato is one vegetable which most people like. I tried making this curry in a typical south Indian style. It goes well with dosai, sambhar or curd rice. It is really yummy..and I am sure you will enjoy it! This is one of my favorite curry as a kid. I use to relish this recipe with curd rice.
