Notes
This is an excellent way to cook new potatoes, as they cook slowly, almost in their own juices, in a curry-flavored sauce. It’s a great side dish, but you can also serve it as a main course along with a bowl of dal and a green vegetable. It also makes a delicious summer meal, accompanied by a garden salad.
