I found this recipe while searching for a recipe combining zucchini and potatoes. I love curry and have a custom blended garam masala from a friend. So I wanted to try this as it fit a healthier way of cooking. I didnt have the dried pepper, so I used red pepper flakes. I had cumin seeds but no mustard seeds, so I used some ground mustard. I followed the rest as written. I didn’t see the measurement for tumeric or salt so I guessed. The dish was a great way to get a little potato and lots of other veggies. While it was a bit spicy, I will make it again but cut back a bit on the spice.
