Aloo mutter is probably the easiest of curies to make and also calls
for ingrdients which are almost always there at home. Though I knew all this,
I have never bothered to try this at home.
Today, when there were no other veggies at home, I had no other option
but to try this and make it for lunch with chapathis!
I have just guessed the taste and added ingredients, but the output was good.
That's all that matters for me..:-)
