POTATO IN PEPPER GRAVY

This receipe is easy, simple and best. In my schooldays my grand parents were with us, rather to say we were with them  ,so  food restrictions were on slightly higher level, no onions,garlic some days.....my mom used to make this  potato dish for chappathi , and it became  the best for everyone.
we just call this dish as potato in pepper gravy,  and i named it so. simple dish without onions,garlic.
And my grandma used to say  pepper powder is better than red chilli powder.less ingridents with lots and lots  of taste.
