Anything potatoe curry form is my go to dish on a fasting day.

It is quick and easy to make especially when you are not fasting.

I came across this recipe in Nadiya’s cookbook and it seemed a really exciting thing to make. It was to be served with paprika corn on the cob. Which I must say was a real hit with my parents and myself.

The tacos was enjoyed as well, but everyone wanted seconds of the corn on the cob.

What I loved about this recipe was the fact that I could finally have an excuse to eat Bombay mix as a food group and not just as a snack you eat at weddings when your bord stiff out your mind and can’t wait for the food to arrive.

I asked my mother my normally question, I ask after every meal and her response was ,”Yes, she would eat it again, if I made it.”
