Batata Sukke | Potato Dry Sabji | Konkani Recipes

Potato dry sabji or batata sukke is simplest of all, which can be cooked even during lock-down. Though the COVID-19 has made us locked inside our respective homes, we need food to survive. And with limited groceries and veggies, we, ladies try to feed our family delicious meal every time.  So in this unprecedented lock-down time, I made batata sukke (named in Konkani language) that requires mainly potato and tomato.

For most of us, it’s kind of overwhelmed feeling of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. How long is this “STAY-AT HOME”  thing? Can we ever go out? Can  we get the old world back again? These are the questions and feelings that drag us in different directions.  Having said that, we are actually making the earth to heal with zero pollution. We are staying in as an act of love and making the world safe for every one. So lets move on with a ray of hope.

As cooking gets bit tricky with groceries in stock. right now, this potato dry sabji comes very handy. I loved pairing it with dosa and it was yummy+delicious. Kids loved it much and demanded second serving. So make this at your convenience.
