Potato Poppy seeds Gravy / Rich Potato Gravy !


Its again time for Blog Hop Wednesday and this is 10th week happening successfully all because of Radhika and other Co-Hoppers who actively participate in this event every alternate Wednesday. And this week I am paired with one of my blog buddy Nisha of Nisha's Kitchen. This time I don't have any confusion to choose the recipe, as I decided to pick any curry from her space. Since daily my toughest job is to decide what's for dinner?? with Chapathis/dosa?? So I tried her Potato in Poppy seed Coconut Gravy. This is bit similar to my mom's kurma recipe and it goes well with both Idly/Dosa n Chapathi/rotis also. For breakfast I served with dosa n the left over curry we had it with chapathi. This is a rich and heavy dish which you can choose for any Potluck Party or get together Party. Now to the recipe...

Adjust water to your desired consistency.
Instead potato, you can also add pan fried paneer and even try with boiled eggs adding at the end.
For Non-vegetarians, this recipe is best with chicken also.
