Here, to make potato curry, I have added onions and tomatoes chopped and this gives a good gravy to the curry. If more gravy is required then, we can add little more water to the curry to get a perfect gravy consistency.

If we want the gravy to thicken, slow cook the gravy and it thickens completely.

All the veg curry recipes are very simple and easy in making procedure and requires few ingredients to make.

3.Adding curry leaves into the curry is totally optional and can be skipped if not required.
