Batate Bhaji-Potato/Aloo dry subzi

Batata in Konkani refers to potato and bhaji means subzi. This is my most favourite vegetable and which rarely runs out of stock in my kitchen. I generally cook it up along with something else that goes into the pressure cooker as it is the one who comes into my rescue when I am clueless about what to cook.... as something cooked out of a boiled potato is enough to tickle your palettes :)
