#Rainbowweek5 - This is a typical Bengali style curry, where I have added some green peas (which is purely optional) and omitted potatoes (for health reason). But you may add if preferred. It is almost a dry preparation with very little gravy and can be relished with plain steamed rice, pulao, chapati or paratha. It also tastes yummy with some hot pooris.
