Potato Bread

We love potatoes (Aidan too!). the ones here are really different. you can never go wrong with it. i'm going to try to grow my own this spring/summer (once Hardy has cleared the allocated lot in our back garden!), not that i have green hands, but we'll see how that works! should be interesting! wish me luck! anyway, i thought of making us a differnt type of kebab, but i didnt have any pitta. so i turned to one of my ever reliable cooking books, and searched for an alternative.


This is an easy alternative to conventional breads. you can serve them with your curries and kormas, you can serve them with your grilled chicken or simply salads. it's very simple to make. try it! oh, if you're making this for your todds, dont add any salt. and try to use just a little bit of oil/ghee.
