Are there some of your favorite traditions you have as a family? Let me know in the comments below. Today's recipe is a quick starter dish that you can whip up in less than 10 minutes and with only one main ingredient, potatoes! " It's already past Christmas, I know! Well, small confession about this post, it was supposed to go up on 12th December but we had an unfortunate family tragedy. We lost a cousin so everything just went so fast with planning a funeral, then travelling up country for the funeral. Got back yesterday and just stumbled upon this draft. Its been a bitter sweet Christmas holiday but things will hopefully get back to normal.

INGREDIENTS

Stir fry few seconds then take off heat

A delicious starter meal that you can serve with salad, curry or even rice
