    Potato Gravy is one restaurant style recipe with tandoori smoked flavour. This gravy goes well with Naan, Roti, Pulao, Jeera Rice, Chapathi etc.

    Potato gravy is easy to make but tastes so delicious. If you are a fan of smoked flavour in your dishes then this gravy is a must try. I was waiting to get charcoal to try tandoor dishes as I don’t have a tandoor oven. So when I made homemade tandoori masala I decided to try tandoori dishes and asked hubby to get some charcoal. If you are wondering where to get charcoal, try asking your neighbour ironwala they will be happy to give you.

    Trust me amma who is not a fan of barbeque or smoked flavour loved this gravy and said she started loving the smoked flavour…so yayy!! Do try this and let me know how you liked it.

    Notes

    Even without smoked flavour this gravy tastes good but the restaurant taste will be missing.
    You can use baby potatoes as I have used or normal potatoes. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles, cut into cubes and use it.
    If you don’t have tandoori masala powder you can use garam masala powder along with a sprinkle of kasoori methi.
