Potato Peas Curry

Most of us consider Potato to be a High calorie food and tend to avoid it. I used to think of it in the same way. But the truth is " If cooked in the right way (without adding extra oil/butter/etc), potatoes are considered exceptionally healthful, low calorie, high fiber food that offers significant protection against cardiovascular disease and cancer".

Amongst the food ranking system, qualified potatoes as a very good source of vitamin C, a good source of vitamin B6, copper, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber.

So eat potatoes, stay healthy.... You can cook potatoes in different ways. One amongst them is what I'm going to show you below:

Potatoes: 2

Peas - 1/2 cup

Green chillies - 2

Garlic cloves - 3 to 4
