Baby Potato Curry

I have always loved this dish especially prepared by mom. We do not get white fresh baby potatoes that often and frozen ones do not work well. Until now I was always under impression that red potatoes taste sweet and hence cannot be used to make spicy curry. Then recently when I had Dum Aloo at friend’s place using red baby potatoes and I could not wait to make this dish.
