Whenever I go to the market for vegetable shopping, I am tempted to buy Baby Potatoes. Especially in Mumbai market we get good baby Potatoes. What I mean to say is that we really get very small potatoes which are unheard of in Ponda and Pune. Both of us like it very much so I always end up in buying it. But end up preparing the same age old recipe thought by my mom i.e. with red chili powder (Dum Aloo). I always wanted to prepare baby potatoes with a little bit of gravy. So I started searching on the net for some recipes. After going through many recipes and customizing as per our taste buds I ended up with the following recipe (custom made ………..and we both loved it)
