Bataka nu shak (Curried potatoes)

Here is another addition to my list if Indian comfort food. Curried potatoes are usually used to wean children into spicy food when you’re a child in the Indian culture. It’s quick and easy, as are most of my recipes, and delicious. I make this dish quite often and to the point where I never […]
