Urulaikizhangu podi curry is a tasty side with potatoes. Crispy potatoes goes well with any many variety rice.
As I had mentioned earlier, potato is one of my favorite vegetables. The beauty of potato is that it can be cooked in so many ways, and each method brings out a superb dish! I have already posted Potato Tikka, Potato Wedges, Potato Chips, Potato Fry, but this version of urulaikizhangu podi curry is a no-onion no-garlic Tamil brahmin style preparation. It is one of the quickest ways to prepare Potatoes. My mother-in-law prepares a different version of this, by adding okra as well.
Here is the recipe for TamBram style Urulaikizhangu podi curry:
