Vrat wali Aloo Sabzi- Potatoes cooked in yogurt and pepper sauce

Vrat Wali Aloo Sabzi- During Navratri and other Religious fasts we are not allowed to use regular spices and vegetables.so often we make potato curry to have with rajgiri or kuttu pooris.
There are many versions of making these vrat ke aloo ki subzi ,depends on the choice of each house hold and region. This is my favorite potato curry which I often make during fasting and on normal days too.
Boiled and cubed potatoes are simmered in a yogurt and pepper gravy.I have added anaradna powder/Dried pomegranate seed powder in this vrat wali  aloo ki subzi which gives a nice tangy taste to the curry,but it is optional you can also make the curry without it.
If you don’t like the taste of pepper then can avoid that and increase the quantity of chili and ginger paste.

    This potato curry is slightly "hatke" from the one I make. Looks good and the presentation is awesome.
