Friends, try this combination of potato and long beans.
Kugan.


POTATOES WITH LONG BEANS

Wowie-zowie!!!!

Both are my wifey's favourite vegetables, and what great combination they make (for her) athula tofu mix pannunA she'd be in heavens.

K sis, troube is, potato is my life-long enemy. Not that I resent it, but I have trouble with the boiling part. Sometimes underboiled, sometimes over...onniyum puriyala...very frustrating...and I don't like to poke them amidst boiling to check if its cooked and break the cubes...what is your suggestion/tips?

Ithula half-boiled-nu vera solluringga....
