![](https://tinditirtha.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DSC09742.jpg)
A very quick, simple yet very tasty recipe of an yummy accompaniment to go with rice flour rotti or any kind of dosay or steamed hot rice. And this is a kind of tangy, spicy curry/gojju prepared using few spices and the potato. This is a south canara/coastal Karnataka special recipe which I learnt long ago when we were in Manipal. They also make chutney using potato as the main ingredient along with some spices and I haven’t yet shared that recipe here on my blog though I make it very often, will definitely share soon.
