HAPPY COOKING :))))))))

and here's a tip:-

1. If you have time, allow potatoes to cool completely before cutting them. This prevents the potatoes from breaking apart & getting mushy when you stir them.
2. This subzi is usually eaten with poori, an unleavened fried Indian bread, but tastes great with chapathis.
