#js #pp - This is a yummy mashed potato curry which Bengalis usually have with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with rice-dal combination. You can also have it with parathas.

So here is my version of this simple and easy to prepare dish. When time is a restraint, this is the best and the easiest comfort food one can have.

You may drizzle some raw mustard oil or kasundi to the end product for added flavour. It can also be served as a spread on chapattis / toast or rolled like a Frankie for a snack on the go.
