Potato in yogurt gravy

Today was one of those super hot spring days... It was 95 degrees. On top of it I was pretty much up and about the whole day. And when I came back home in the evening I didn't want to spend loads of time in front of the hot stove. So I made a refreshing yogurt based gravy for potato and I served it with plain basmati rice. Yum yum super hit dinner ready
