Anu, awesome potatoes! I used 3 large sized potatoes and 4 1/2 tbsp. of oil. Otherwise, I used everything in the same quantities as mentioned. We had this for lunch today and oh loved it so much. Only, we felt that it was very tasty(as in being a bit spicy) before adding the yogurt. Hence, henceforth we'll be making it without the yogurt. After reaching the fifth step in the recipe( till the potatoes were three-fourth tender), I added water and covered the container for around 10-12 minutes until the potatoes were completely done. Then added the masala powders and salt. Mixed it well and then what I tasted was FANTA-FABULOUS! Thanks! Next time, I'll stop at this point, garnish with cilantro and serve. Served this with hot puris and wow, heaven in a morsel!
