A simple, quick and hard to get wrong curry for the poori. Often made as evening tiffin/early dinner on weekends at both our places.
Malli-ma, my mother-in-law makes the potato masala for poori a bit differently than Amma. While Amma mashes up a potato and mixes with water to bring the gravy consistency, Malli-ma uses a tablespoon or two Bengal gram powder mixed with water for the gravy consistency. Both taste great!
