I usually make my potato curry with peas or cauliflower and sometimes with bell peppers, this potato curry on the other hand was made with edamame which I thought was rather unusual, but tasted great. This new variation of potato curry is something I had at our friend Padmini’s home for dinner. I asked Padmini to share her recipe and here it is.
