Yesterday, I shared the recipe for making Indian Pooris/puffed bread served with a simple Potato/aloo curry. So, as mentioned in that post, today I am sharing my recipe for the curry.
This is a very basic and easy curry to make with no masala powders or spices added. All the flavor comes from the ginger and green chili that is added. It is often served as accompaniment for pooris or roti/Indian flatbread. You can also make this to serve along with Fried rice, Jeera rice or Coconut rice.
