A spicy and tasty potato curry cooked with asafetida and some other spices is a perfect side dish to pair with khasta kachori.
Today I am presenting a completely different version of potato curry.Normally Potato, which is a rich source of carbohydrate is prepared either in dry form with ginger and cumin seeds or in gravy.The gravy form is occasionally prepared with peas and ginger garlic paste.
Asafetida has the bucket of medicinal values and is an obedient ingredient in almost recipes of Indian cuisine. So I decided to prepare a spicy and sour version of potato curry with the rich pungent combination of asafetida. Believe me, it tasted awesome. I wondered that even plain potatoes can do such a miracle in taste, makes it mouth-watering. The gravy rich in spices, along with asafetida is a hit with Khasta Kachoris, a traditional breakfast in North India.
