Potato Phata Phat Curry

#PotatoCurry : This curry can be called #PotatoPhataPhatCurry since it is the simplest & the easiest recipes of potato and can be prepared phata phat ( Quickly ).
If you are cooking with a four burner stove, keep rice in cooker on the first burner, rasam on the 2nd one and start doing this curry on the 3 rd one. All can be cooked within half-an-hour.
At the end of the recipe I have added #spinach to make the curry more nutritious and fiber rich.
