- Add Potatoes, put a little egg yellow food coloring to the potatoes, it looks lovely in the Curry.
- Reduce the heat to low, if you using a normal pot add a little water, I use the AMC so I don’t use any water in my Curries.
- When the potatoes are soft Garnish with Dhaniya / Dhania / Corriander or fresh curry leaves
