Here is a super quick side dish for you to serve with any kind of Indian flat bread,with one ingredient on demand-potatoes.It is really easy to whip up an easy ad tasty side dish if you have potatoes in stock.In my home there is always a stash of potatoes in stock and I just feel helpless if I run out of potatoes. Dhariwala is a simple and quick dish where boiled and peeled potatoes are cooked in coriander(cilantro) onion paste on low flame yielding a very juicy and succulent potato cubes full of cilantro flavor.A true bliss for cilantro lover.I adapted the recipe from Mallika Badrinath and made a few changes to simplify the already simple recipe.Dhariwala recipe
