Do not mash the potatoes completely.
Clean the potatoes very well so you do not need to peel them and that helps to keep the nutrients.
Health Information
We usually eat masala dosa for breakfast. If you make masala curry with only potatoes, you do not get enough protein in your breakfast. So add some protein in the form of chickpeas and green peas.
Chick peas are good source of protein and fibre.
