Cooking made easy

Potato is all time favorite form some people like me. I love potato for several reasons. First and foremost reason is i can prepare curry in no time. This Curry is favorite for all at my home too. The combination of potatos with chikkudu ginjalu/seeds( Indian Broad Beans) and with methi leaves gives it a unique flavor and taste. My mother used to make it with the whole seed(chikkudu kaya). I love having this curry with white rice. Now coming to the recipe
