One fine evening, nothing exciting in the house and a Pinteresty inspiration – a Mexican loaded mashed potato bowl. The best thing about this meal is, everything is readily available in an Indian household. Tweaked it a little bit and used saucy beans instead of refried ones, taste much more exciting this way.
