Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Simple Potato Curry (South Indian)’:
Potato Variety: I have used white potatoes. But, even red potatoes (or) baking potatoes can also be used.
No Onion – No Garlic: Just avoid adding them, but continue with the rest of the recipe as it is. It does work fine. Here is my stove top recipe for No Onion No Garlic Potato Curry>> Aloo Matar Masala / Potato Green Peas Gravy Curry

How to serve, ‘South Indian style, Easy Potato Curry’:
We had this, Potato Curry (Electric Pressure Cooker), along with fluffy poori (fried Indian bread) and healthy salad (as shown in below pic).
It goes great as an accompaniment with any Indian bread like, roti, paratha, naan, phulka, poori.
Try it with my Avocado roti>> Avocado Roti / Tortilla (Whole Wheat), which tastes just good.And moreover makes a wholesome meal.
You can even serve as a side dish with steamed plain rice, or even with any pulao rice / pilaf. For say, like>> Spinach & Chickpeas Pulao Rice (South Indian style) , Jeera Pulao / Cumin Rice , Spring Onion Pulao / Salad Onion Rice.
And one more best option is to use as a sandwich filling just like this recipe>> Indian Masala Sandwich
