Spicy Potato

Spicy Potato is a simple, semi dry curry. Comforting and easy to make this potatoe curry is flavourful and aromatic. This curry is made with onions, ginger tomato and capsicum. This potato dish not only goes perfectly with Indian breads like Chapati or naan but you can also have this with Dal kadhi or dal rice or jeera rice and Pulaos.  

This curry can be made when there is no fresh vegetable in your pantry. It is gluten free and vegan. But you can make it with butter/ghee if you like the richer taste of butter or ghee.

The addition of little capsicum pieces, gives a very smoky aroma to the curry. This curry is not originated from any particular place, but you may assume that this is a fusion invented by a Tamil Nadu girl living in Maharashtra
