Masala aloo. Semi-dry when cooked. Perfect with meat or vegetable curries. This should not take longer than 30 mins even with cooking the potatoes.

"This was an excellent meal and very easy to make. Just prep all of the stuff before you start. Also if your new potatoes in a can have salt included I don't think 1 Tbl of salt is necessary." - jmschaub

    I literally couldn't believe how well this turned out!!! This will be a staple in my kitchen from now on. There were a few ingredients I didn't have & I had to reduce the proportions so I really didn't think it would turn out so well. Can't wait to make it again.
