Easy spiced potato curry from Uttar Pradesh cuisine – Winter special.
The rice is also no onion no garlic recipe. You can also make this curry for fasting. This recipe is so quick and is very easy. You can even add tamarind sauce to it when you prefer, it gives great twist to the recipe. Some add peas and cauliflower to the curry, it’s a great way to have any veggies. This recipe is popular all over India. I made this with channa paratha. But it taste great with just plain rice or poori or parotta.
