Baby potatoes in spicy gravy

I love potatoes in all forms. This is one such root that mixes with everything and adopt its flavor. This is my mother in law’s recipe which I modified by adding some yogurt which made it super delicious! This dish goes well with flat breads such as roti, naan or even with plain rice.
