WIDE PAN FOR urilaikilangu PODI CURRY 

For the perfect curry texture, I recommend a wide pan so that potatoes don't overlap and cook evenly.

No, Slow cooking is key for the perfect tasty potato fry.

PODI CURRY

Be it a variety of rice or with rice accompaniment like kuzhambu, rasam, etc, podi curry tastes best. Make-ahead podi variety comes in handy for quick curry | poriyal variety

HOMEMADE CURRY POWDER

curry powder stays good for weeks and it enhances the flavor of dry south Indian style curry | varuval recipes. If you are going to make a small batch of curry powder you can add little oil for roasting the spice mix but for longer shelf life skip the oil. The extra spice powder can be used for Capsicum rice, Kathirikai sadam, Vazhakkai Poriyal, etc.

WHAT SHOULD BE THE TEXTURE OF THE PODI?

In our home, we generally prefer slightly coarse ground homemade podi as it gives a nice texture to the podi. You can ground the curry powder fine or coarse according to your preference.

CAN I ADD ONION FOR potato podi kari?

Yes, you can add onion, garlic, ginger, etc. According to your taste.
