Looking for a quick and delicious side dish that pairs perfectly with rice, sambar, or Kuzhambu, Rasam, kottu, curd rice, almost any dish, and every dish. Cast iron gives an amazing texture and taste to the urulaikizhangu poriyal. This is also a no-ga? Coin Potato Fry, also known as Tawa Varuval, is a crispy, golden delight made by shallow frying thick potato slices coated in aromatic spices. Whether you're cooking for a busy weekday lunch or craving a crunchy snack, this easy-to-make recipe is sure to win hearts. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, it's a must-try for potato lovers!

     large or small, or medium potatoes for this recipe? 

     It's best to use small to medium potatoes. Large ones may break during cooking and lose their coin shape.

    Why are my potatoes soggy instead of crispy? 

    Ensure you cook uncovered after the initial steam phase and avoid overcrowding the pan. Also, slice thick and soak to remove starch.

    Can I make this ahead of time? 

    Coin potato fry is best served fresh, but you can prep the slices and marinate them in advance. Reheat gently on a tawa to restore crispiness.

     

    Can I use sambar powder for urulai kizhangu roast?

    Yes, you can use sambar powder instead of chilli powder. Adjust the quantity according to your preference.

    Can I cook the urulai roast in a high flame?

    No slow roasting is the key to perfect, crispy golden potatoes.

    Can I cook a potato in a non-stick pan?

    Yes, you can cook a potato tawa fry in any pan of your choice, but I love the texture of cast-iron urulaikizhangu roast, which turns out best.

    oil for coin potato roast

    I used peanut oil but you can use any oil of your choice

    Can I add other masalas/ spice powders to the potato roast?

    You can play with your favorite flavors and make a potato roast. I prefer to keep it simple, so I generally add Sambar powder alone.
