This recipe of Potato curry is versatile coz it pairs up with anything, from Rice to Roti to Dosa to Bread. Even curry puffs and samosas, Of course with lil modifications. I would say this potato curry recipe is a base to many of em recipes.

This recipe is perfect with lemon rice too. You can stuff it in Chapathis, roll and pack em in lunch box. Add mixed vegetable to this and mash lil more, it goes perfect for filling curry puffs. Add carrots and soaked Chanadal (Senagapappu), it's Masala Dosa stuffing etc etc. You got the point right. So it's a must, you know and try this recipe. Lastly I stuffed this curry in Hamburger buns along with sliced raw onions, tomato ketchup( Optional). They were so yummmmm:-)!

Another Potato recipe on the blog is Potato stir fry. It's a global kiddo favorite. Haven't seen any Indian kid who wouldn't like Potato fry;-). Do try that recipe too.One more must try recipe is my Masala Dibbarotte (from Idli batter) recipe where I add this curry to the idly batter to make thick pancakes.
