Breakfast Potatoes Desi Fusion!
Potatoes are one of the most consumed vegetables in the world. It is also very popular among all age groups. You would find potatoes as a part of breakfast in most cultures. Some make skillet-style potatoes, some bake it, roast it, fry it, etc.. Potatoes are easy to experiment with. They are cheaper too. Who am I kidding? Potato in every form is just soooooo good!!!!
Here I am sharing a traditional recipe, as I belong to Pakistan it has all the desi spices. This recipe is decades old; our forefathers use to make it too. Mostly we serve it on weekend brunches. It goes well with an omelet. Be it a plain omelet with just red chili and salt, or be it a vegetable-loaded one.
I have made a video too, which I am attaching; the narration is in Urdu, my mother tongue, but the recipe is clear.
Okay, enough about the description, let's diveeee into the recipe!!!!
Ingredients:
5–6 Medium potatoes sliced
1 tsp. Crushed Red Chili
1/2 tsp. Turmeric / Haldi Powder
Salt to taste

4–5 tsp Curry leaves
Oil 1/2 cup
Heat oil in a wok or nonstick pan.
Method:
