Notes

• Potato, tomato and onion I used were small sized. So if its big, reduce the numbers.
• Adding milk or cream at the end gives a rich gravy. but I loved it simply without any of these.
• The gravy consistency depends on water you add, so adjust accordingly.
• The potatoes should be fried well before we add tomato puree. This ensures soft cooked potatoes in the gravy.
