Notes
Make sure the potatoes are not over cooked. They must be firm.
I have used non dairy curd. However you can use normal dairy curd if you want.
You can use normal potatoes cut into big chunks in the place pf whole baby potatoes
If you have no access to banana leaf, you can steam the potatoes normal way.
