Any recipe with potato will make the dish a wonderful pairing with Chapathi / Roti, no matter whether the dish is dry or gravy. Aloo Mutter curry is no exception to this. It also goes well with Rice. I prepared this recipe with a bit of South Indian touch so that it can act as side dish to plain rice.
