When comes to vegetarians potato is one of their favorite. And moreover using potato we can make a wide variety of recipes including starters, curries, snacks and many more. Whenever coming for trying some new recipe, I always feel more comfortable if a potato is an ingredient, don't know exactly why?
And coming to curry variety, you can make dozens of variety curries using a potato. And that's why my recipe is a little special. I was always bored of trying normal potato curry with all those usual spices. Just wanted to give it a little tweak and make it a little different I tried making potato curry without adding red chili powder instead added green chilies.
I loved adding a handful of coriander leaves to it and the final step of adding milk (coconut milk or normal milk) will give your curry a gooey texture, which I personally loved the most.
My family enjoys this curry so much with chapati, poori, dosa and what not. So let's jump on to the recipe.
Ingredients:
- Potato - 2 medium
- Onion - 2medium
- Carrot - 1/4th cup

- Coriander powder -1/2tsp

Method:
- Start by tempering- for tempering add 2 tsp of oil to kadai, to that add mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies. Wait for mustard seeds to splutter.
- When splutters add sliced Onion, potato chopped in cubes, carrot, and peas.
- Saute well until they are soft.
- Add salt, close, and cook in medium flame
- Make sure to open and stir in between to avoid sticking to the bottom
- When veggies are soft add spices.
- Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala. Combine well and cook until the raw smell of spices is gone.
- close and cook in medium flame
- Make sure to open and stir in between to avoid sticking to the bottom
- Cook for about 10mins and by this time potatoes will be half cooked.
- Add warm water according to the consistency you need.
- Allow it to cook for about 5mins until potatoes are completely cooked
- When cooked smash a few potatoes cubes to make the gravy thicker
- Now when gravy is thicker add few chopped coriander leaves and combine well
- Finally, add coconut milk / normal milk
- After adding milk don't boil
- Serve hot and enjoy!!
Note:
- If you wish you can add pepper powder to balance the taste(personally I don't prefer).
- while adding normal milk, make sure to add fresh milk or else it can spoil your complete effort.
- If you are adding normal milk can just dilute milk in water and add.
- After adding milk/coconut milk never boil.
