Notes
Since both Curds and Tomatoes are added, the gravy could tend to become a bit more sour, so adjust by adding more chili to the gravy if you feel so.
As peeling baby potato skin is hard, I have scrubbed it well and cooked with it on. It is also healthy to eat with the skin.
Serving Instructions. This easy Baby Potato Gravy can be served with Rotis or Chapatis. It also makes a great side dish for this simple Tomato Rice.
