Notes

As we have to use boiled potatoes in this recipe don't use over boiled potatoes or it will get too mushy at the end of the recipe as we have to cook it during the recipe as well.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible but if you want to make it more spicy the you can add 1 tbsp of garam masala as well with other dry spices.
