#Dec #w1 - This is a yummy mashed potato curry that Bengalis usually have with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with the rice-dal combination. You can also have it with parathas. So here is my version of this simple dish. When time is short, this is the best and the easiest comfort food one can have. It can also be served as a spread on chapattis or rolled like a Frankie for a snack on the go.
