Notes
Break the potatoes roughly using your fingers and add them to the pan. Breaking the boiled potatoes with your fingers rather than cutting them with a knife is important, as rough breaking dissolves some of their starch into the gravy, making it very creamy.
Skip adding asafetida to make this curry gluten-free.
