Urulai Kizhangu (Potato) Puttu

This recipe is entirely different from usual hot and spicy potato stir fry. This goes well with any spicy curry like puli kuzhambu or poondu kuzhambu.

When I served this along with poondu kuzhambu (Garlic curry) today, my hus mistook it as upma. He said "Dont you know I hate upma".. Then I realized that this exactly looks like upma. But the flavors are really amazing and different.

If you want to try a different stir fry with potato, then this would be your perfect recipe.
