Bihari-style potatoes recipe
Atul Kochhar says: The traditional pan-fried potatoes that go along with my Bihari lamb curry are another recipe filled with nostalgia - my teacher used to bring them along to school and let me have a bite. She was an amazing cook and I have often tried to recreate her food from my memory!
