Spicy potato curry,I prepare this dish,whenever iam in short of vegetables and in need of curry with lots of kaaram.If you have tasted the chettinaad dishes...their main spice ingredient would be the pepper...but it will be a hidden spice,dominated spice would be of red chilli's.In same way,I have added pepper powder here. I learn this dish while i am living with my friends in room.Those are the very cherrish moments in my life.

Here is the recipe.................
