Tomato-Potato Curry

It’s been 4 long months since I made any new post….time has run so fast these days….In my last post I mentioned about hot climate and uneven power cuts…Hmm seasons change now it is rainy and cloudy all the time….no light and dull boring weather makes me slow…..in cooking and clicking…..Hmm now coming to the fact….as it is long since I made a new post…I feel it completely new to type…crop and edit pictures or even I forgot how to shoot and morph the pictures…what font I was using and blah….blah…blah…..But I promise, I will gain the momentum soon and lure you with my recipes and pictures.

Like always today’s recipe is also simple and flavourful….very easy to make and yum to indulge…..Soft potatoes cooked in red creamy tomato gravy with aromatic Indian tadka gives an delectable recipe which go with hot piping roti’s….perfect to cherish the boring dull weather….
