This is yet another quick and easy dish to prepare and super delicious too! I only threw in the potatoes cos I didn’t know what to do with them, plus hubby can have potatoes 24/7/365, so why not! 😂
I was just trying to do something different with eggs and threw in the potatoes as an afterthought – ha… ha… and I’m glad that it turned out well. This dish will go well with rice, appam and even dosa!
