Bori Curry

It seems this curry is not well known as it is not available in restaurants. Atleast that is what is written in the cooking book from which i got the recipe.

The recipe is from Camellia Panjabi 50 great curries of India.
Well known or not I am glad that I made it as it was delicious.
While I was making the dish my kitchen ( well the whole home) was filled with the aroma of delicious freshly ground spices.
Have to admit it took a bit of time to make this dish but was worh all the efffort.
I loved the potatoes in the dish as it had soaked up all the flavours from the sauce.
