Tomato-Brinjal-Potato Curry
 Tomato-Brinjal-Potato Curry, usually called as "Thakkali Kathirikkai UrulaiKizhangu Kadainthathu" in our Home is a very tasty one with minimal ingredients. We love to have with Idly, Dosa and Paniyaram. This is my mom's recipe and I just added Curry powder as an extra ingredient. We can also add coconut milk at the end for more flavour.

Ingredients:
  • Tomatoes, well ripen - 3 nos, finely chopped
  • Brinjal - 2 nos, finely chopped
  • Potato - 2 nos, peeled and finely chopped
  • Small Onions - 10-12 nos or 1 Big onion, finely chopped
  • Green chillies - 1-2 nos, halved (Adjust as per spice level) (Can be avoided if making for kids)
