Peas Potato Curry is yet another easy to make side dish for rotis and especially when you are busy to plan much ahead, this is one simple one to make.
When Peas are fresh in the season, this is one of the sabzis that is often made. Of course, each time I make it differently and this time I decided to click the step by step pictures as well. However, just when I think I must plan well for the final click, I find it difficult and end up clicking the simple one on the countertop.
This time I add kasuri methi and butter and the final gravy turned out yummy! For the BM#96, Week 1, I am sharing easy to make dinner ideas. These days our dinner is a mix of Rotis, Idlis and Dosas.
Gravies like this is surely a wonderful one to make.

Peas and potato, both are made for each other, they works awesome in anything. Such a fingerlicking curry there. Love these sort of side dish to have with rotis.
Vaishali Sabnani says
This peas and potato curry is awesome , we make it regularly , though I do not use cashews in routine curries , they are restricted to only party dishes .
Kasoori methi is my favourite , gives a unique and awesome flavour to the dishes .

Wow, wow! I just want to grab that platter Valli. Potatoes and peas are such an amazing combo and the addition of cashews, Kasuri methi and butter would make it flavourful as well as rich.

This is one of our everyday meal, love to have this with chapatis or steamed rice!! You pic is tempting me to take a bite from the chapati and have it with the subzi!! Also I liked the addition of cashews in masala, I make the onion tomato masala without cashews.
