    You all know that I love potatoes..And you can see my love in this blog..Yes I have quite a few recipe for potato here..Go and browse my Recipe Index for all recipes...
    This is a kind of potato roast which requires no fancy spices..This recipe is very straight forward..You only need basic two 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 a oven to roast the potatoes,But I find stove top works fine..
    This is my favorite potato roast and I make this more often..I will surely post amma’s favorite potato fry in another one post..
    So I know that you will definitely love this dish..Off you go for the step by step recipe with pictures..
    Ingrediants:
    Potatoes-7
    Chilli powder-1 tblspn
    Turmeric powder / Manjal Podi-1 tsp
    Curry leaves- a handful
    Oil-5 tblspn
    Salt to taste
    Method:
    Pressure cook potatoes till they are cooked...Peel away the skin and cut into cubes..Set this aside for a moment.
    Heat oil in a kadai..Add in curry leaves and let it splatter.
    Add in potatoes and mix well.
    Now add in salt and turmeric powder..Mix well..
    Reduce the flame to a low and simmer it for 10 mins untill the potatoes turn light golden around the edges..
    Now add in chilli powder and mix well..
    Cook this in a low flame for 15-20 mins..By which time the potatoes will have been beautifully crisped up..
    Switch off the flame and serve with rice..

      @Anonymouswhen cooking potatoes, dont over cook it. Just cook till it si tender, because it will carry on cooking as it roast.
