Potato Curry

 

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 Potato 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 potato curry:

Potato Curry

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 10 mins | Serves : 3

Recipe Category: Side Dish

Ingredients:

Potato – 5, cut into small cubes. Soak them in water to avoid them changing color

Sambar powder – 1 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp

Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp

Rice flour – 1 tsp (optional)

Salt – as needed

To temper:

Mustard Seeds – 1/4 tsp

Split Urad Dal – 1/2 tsp

Channa Dal – 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves – few

Oil – 1 tbsp

Method:

•  Add oil to a pan. When oil is hot, add the items under ‘to temper’ and let it crackle. Add the potatoes and saute for 3-5 minutes

• Add turmeric powder, sambar powder, coriander powder, rice flour and salt and cook till they are golden brown

 My Notes:

• You can add ginger garlic paste while adding potatoes, to reduce gastric problems
• Adding rice flour gives nice crispy texture to the potato. Chickpea/Besan flour can also be used
• You can use chilli powder instead of sambar powder
