Poori Potato/ Potato Masala/ Poori Masala

                     Im in no mood to type out this post…as my dear grandma, so close to me has passed away last Friday. She has suffered a great deal over the past few years and it would be selfish of us to wish she would be with us forever! May our prayers reach her…….and her soul rest in peace…Ameen!                                                                        ‘ I love you Ammi….’                    Just took out my lap top to type out this simple recipe…..Thanks to a very special blogger friend for making me do it! 🙂
