Potato capsicum gravy

 Today I thought preparing murungakaai soup with carrot beans poriyal... But my daughter completely changed my plan.... So as per her wish, prepared potato capsicum gravy which is her favourite... I thought of preparing ghee rice, since this gravy goes well with ghee rice... But she refused and asked me to prepare curd rice... What a different combo, curd rice with gravy... She told anything hot and spicy will go with curd rice... My mind didn't accepted her suggestion... Anyhow as per her wish prepared this dish...
