Potato curry / Aloo sabzi

"Potato is a favourite of the kids ", I have heard my friends saying this but this completely contradicts with my kids .If its potato then it has to be chips , wedges ..... halt a minute I haven't yet posted the recipes .so put down your searching shoes .

This particular curry goes well with poori or dosas or even chapati . Poori and this combo is my personal favourite Its a favourite of Lil z and his father ( Z) too .Every other day when I ask  him

" what do you want for your lunch box "?. He comes up with this .Its an easy dish with minimal ingredients and fast to churn .

Besan is added  to give a thick consistency to the curry.

And now over to the recipe  .......

NOTES

2. If your curry thickens too much add some water to loosen it .
3. If you don't like besan skip it .
