Raswale Batanu Shakk/Potato curry in saucy gravy - Sidedish for Roti/Thepla/Poori

By Priya Srinivasan - I Camp in My Kitchen - Monday, September 07, 2015

Potatoes are loved universally, that too in a spicy gravy like this is always a winner, where you can dip your flat-bread, and relish that juicy bite. I originally planned for dry potato curry, batanu shaak. But then i felt a gravy would do justice to the thepla's, so my kiddo's too can enjoy them. I m happy, i changed the side, it was a super-hit at home, both the kiddos and their daddo, loved the side.

    No onion & tomato, yet you got decent amount of gravy! We to prefer some gravy curries for Indian breads.
