Potato curry is a delicious dish to have for breakfast or for evening snack. Compared to other vegetables, potatoes are relatively cheap, which means you can always experiment with it. Potato curry is quite popular in our neighbouring countries, but many restaurants in Dhaka are now serving potato curry. Since the dish requires only a few ingredients and takes less than half an hour to make, one can easily make it at home.

Ingredients
Potatoes 7, medium sized
Ghee (clarified butter) 1/2 cup
Yoghurt 1 cup
Red chili powder, garam masala and salt, to taste.

Coriander leaves

Skin the potatoes, cut into large pieces and boil. You can add a little salt while boiling.
