About Potato Roast (Urulai Roast)
This is a kind of potato roast which requires no fancy spices. This recipe is very straight forward. You only need basic spices and you are done. The one thing about this dish is it requires quite a bit of time to roast. You should cook it in low flame for a long time so that the potatoes gets nice and crisp.
Alternatively you could even use an oven to roast the potatoes, But I find stove top works fine. This is my favorite potato roast and I make this more often.
