POTATO CURRY FOR PURI/CHAPATHI

A simple yet delicious curry for puri or chapathi. It can be made in minutes if the cooked vegetables are ready. This is served in every restaurant or hotel throughout South India. I made a small variation by adding Carrots and tomatoes. Add a little bit of water if it is to be had with chapathi or leave it thick if having  with puri.
