If you are bored of tomato gravy or yogurt gravy, here is a south Indian twist to the classic potato curry. In this recipe, potatoes are made in rich coconut gravy! Here, grated coconut forms the main ingredient of the gravy that lends its creamy texture, luscious taste and a range of nutritional properties.
