Green Potato Curry is a tasty, easy to make accompaniment. It pairs well with chapathi or phulka. It needs a few ingredients and most of them are available at home.
Potato is versatile to use and saves the day umppteen times. Either, when I am in a hurry or the stock of vegetables is exhausted, the humble potato finds a place in the menu. Thus, I have learnt to create many kinds of dishes with it. I have earlier shared alu matar, alu , methi aloo and dum aloo.
Here are a few myths of humble potato debunked :
1.Potatoes are whole lot of fat. The truth is it depends on the way potato is cooked. If potatoes are consumed as finger chips, they contain fat and not good for the overall health. But, a potato by itself is rich in carbohydrates and fiber.
2. Potatoes make me fat. No, cook it in the right way, either boil them or saute in a little oil. Consume it in moderation.
3. Potatoes are high in calories. This is not true again. An alu partha has more calories than a dry potato sabzi. A bowl of finger chips is also higher in calories than potato wedges made in the air fryer.. Thus, it also depends on the way the food is cooked and served.
