Baby Potato Kurma

I love kurma because of it's flavor and it's so versatile. You can have it with idli, dosa, roti, or even any variety rice. I have posted a few kurma recipes already and my list of favorites continues to grow! This is another kurma recipe that I tried and we absolutely loved it! This is so flavorful and delicious!
