Aloo Masala / Potato Curry - Day 4

UPDATE AUGUST 14 : This dish was submitted for Tony’s 29th Curry Mela over at Anthony’s Kitchen.

So it’s day 4 of vegetarian week, so far I haven’t found this week difficult. I’m feeling pretty good and I’m still loosing weight.

I enjoyed my curry so much that I thought I would have a variation on it tonight only this time with new potatoes and a couple of other slight changes.
