Aloo coriander gravy / coriander gravy/ sidedish for chapathi


Aloo coriander gravy recipe with step by step pictures 


             Aloo coriander gravy is a tasty, yummy sidedish for Indian flat breads like Chapathi, roti,  naan and also for dosas.  This gravy tastes different from the usual gravies.  My daughter and my husband likes this gravy very much for the first time itself.  It has a very rich taste and its a great combination for chapathi.  I have added Potato (aloo) in this gravy.  You can also add your favorite vegetables like,  cauliflower,  paneer,  capsicum and chicken also goes well in this gravy.   Do try this recipe at your home.
