"This is one of the favorite recipes of my mother and my husband. It is nice combination with paratha or Indian puree. It's very tasty and you'll keep licking your finger I swear."

  1. I really liked this dish. I wasn't sure if the cooking method would work, browning the potatoes after they are cooked, but it did! I skipped the curds, halved the salt, and used 1 tablespoon of oil instead of all the butter. It would be helpful to have the ingredients in order and to include cilantro among the ingredients. This served 2 for us. Thanks for the yummy recipe!

I am an Indian from a middle class family.I was the youngest in my family and never needed to cook a fabulous meal myself. But after marriage,things are not the same.My husband has a very refined taste buds and he is very fond of top class food.So these days I am just experimenting lots of new dishes and trying to please my husband..My mother-in-law is also a great cook,and though i didn't get a chance to live with her for long time,but I am sure I'll disappoint her a lot in this respect as not being that good at cooking ,is my weekest point. So when ever I cook some thing great ,which my husband loves,that is my best day.
