Bataata Nu Shaak is what a potato gravy vegetable is called in Gujarati. This is a very delicious vegetable which we learnt from our Gujarati neighbour many years back.

The use of crushed roasted groundnuts gives it a unique flavour and being a no onion no garlic recipe, it can be relished by even those who refrain from having onions and garlic!
