Potato curry brahmin's style
I am a big fan of this Tamil Brahmins style potato curry/Urulai kizhangu varuval recipe. I have already mentioned about this potato fry in my brahmin style arachuvitta sambar post. It is one of the easiest poriyal recipes & the best side dish for sambar and rasam. Ideal recipe for bachelor’s quick cooking. Just 5 minutes, this curry would be ready. Moreover it is a No onion No garlic recipe.

When I was working, my colleague used to bring this as a side dish for sambar sadam. I learnt this from her. I make this mainly for Raksha. She loves it a lot. I think most of you know & make this at home. But I wanted to have this easy recipe in my food book. So lets proceed how to make this easy and quick potato curry recipe with a shorts video.
