I make a non-vegetarian version of this potato stew. I cut up chicken into bite size pieces and cook the chicken in a non-stick skillet until it is no longer pink, and then add it to the stew and cook it. I love it.

I make this same stew but I add turmeric for colour and a squeeze of lime for extra flavour just after turning the heat off. Do try it.
