This potato curry turned out super tasty! It goes great with fluffy basmati rice or any Indian bread, or even Lebanese bread is fine.

- When sufficiently hot, throw in the mustard seeds and let them crackle.
- Add in the grated ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves.
- Stir well, and then add cumin seeds. Mix.
- Add the potatoes and stir everything well.
- Cook under medium heat till the potatoes get roasted and cooked.

If you want a richer sauce, add a little sour cream or the standard cream. If you want a little spiciness, then add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala at the end.
