VEGETARIAN POTATO CURRY

This is a fragrant, tasty and non-soupy vegetable curry. It can be meal on itself spread over a plate of steaming hot rice. With this recipe, I realised that curries need not have to be prepared in big portions.

There is cauliflower and dried glutton pieces that resemble coarsely minced meat in the potato curry. You can add more curry powder if you like more spicy curry.

It taste sourish, savoury and not too spicy.  Appetisingly good that you will not miss meaty dishes.
