Baby Potatoes In Spicy Gravy

Potato is a very versatile vegetable. What can you not make out of it? From savory type dishes like this one to sweet ones like potato halwa, puddings etc. This one recipe came to me during my vacations, my mom cooked something that I didn't like (oh! did I mention that I'm a fussy eater?) so I had to cook something to calm my butterflies!
