This is the first north indian side dish I learnt when I was newly married, from my cousin sister, who was married and settled in Mumbai. I had known only our traditional south indian recipes, and when she wrote and sent the recipe for this, with a gaping mouth I read it, and it sounded awesome. I first made it in my inlaws' home, and it won great accolades!!!This is a very simple subzi, and we all named it "Punjabi Subzi", and even today, this continues to be a family-favourite...even  of my grandchildren.

Ingredients
Onions - 2, chopped lengthwise
Tomato - 1, big
Potatoes - 2, cut lengthwise and dropped into water
