Spicy Potato Masala Fry | Urulaikizhangu masala fry for rice with step by step pics and video recipe. this is one of the simplest and common side dishes prepared for rice and roti. Unlike simple potato fry, this has a pack of spicy masala with it that makes it suitable for even rotis.

If you are from tamilnadu, you might have heard about the Madurai kizhangu pottalam, My husband travels a lot for his work and keeps telling me about the food items he tastes everywhere. Few years back, when he use to travel to Madurai, he tells about this pottalam and variety rice which are packed in banana leaf.

I use to tell him to take a snap of it and if possible to bring it so that i can taste and try to replicate it. But luckily, he dint have to do it for me, I got the recipe from one of my friend in Madurai. here it is, just that i dint pack in banana leaf. If you can get it, then prepare and pack it in banana leaf to get the flavour of it.

Before I get to the recipe, here are some of the potato curry recipes which you might be interested in, baby potato roast, drumstick potato stir fry, this simple and one of the best attractive starter recipe is creamy potatoes barbeque nation style, normal potato fry with curry leaves flavour: potato curry leaves fry, lasaniya batata which is Garlic potato curry, potato dryfruits cutlet, potato stew recipes, and many more..
