  19. Jin,
    splendid ...good to know you tried it and it came out well ...nice that you have added some potatoes it does give a nice texture to the usual chingri macher jhaal ...
    just my suggestion ...
    you may add some green peas/pieces of carrots for a more colourful appearance and serve with some fresh chopped coriander .have it with warm rice ...thanks for stoping by
