hi,
ReplyDeleteone problem, how do I make potato like potato piece instead of becoming paste.
any tip ?
Murali,
ReplyDeleteYou are probably adding boiled potatoes to the dish.Add the raw potato cubes and dont let them sit under steam for long as they might become too soft and mushy.Keep checking and once you feel they are almost cooked add the capsicums pieces and cook till the capsicum is done.
