A simple and quick potato curry ready in minutes!!
Ah!!! the popular Potatoes!!!! They add a distinct flavour, texture and variation to the dishes!!
It is said that there are nearly 4000 varieties of potatoes in various colours, shapes and sizes.
Unfortunately we do not eat potatoes raw as they contain a high amount of vitamin C most of it which is lost due to cooking the potato.
High in potassium, Vitamin B6 and is good for the heart –
Kids love dishes made out of potatoes and ofcourse – ofcourse potato chips are much-loved by all!

This is a perfect and easy to cook receipe. This is a very popular dish and every cook has his or her own receipe for a typical potato curry. I tried this one and found this was a very simple and easy-to-cook receipe. The use of microwave in Indian cooking makes the process easy and quick. Will indeed try out some more receipes soon.
Thanks Nalini – much appreciate your feedback – yes the use of the microwave oven does help us a great deal – faster and more efficient!!
