Notes

1. I mashed potatoes completely as my daughter likes that texture. You can mash it slightly if you like potato chunks in your recipe
2. Add one more green chili if you want spicy version
3. As I don't have coriander leaves I didn't add it. If you have you can add it too as it gives nice flavor to your recipe
