 Kids would love this potato kara kari if you make it less spicy. If you have boiled potatoes in hand, you can make this kara kari under 10 minutes. No grinding and very less chopping works is needed for this recipe.

I have already shared a Tamil brahmin style urulaikilangu fry recipe in my blog. But this recipe is completely different from that version. I followed this potato kara kari recipe from Jeyashri’s blog and a YouTube video. This kara curry is served in traditional Tamil brahmin weddings( Kalyana veedu). Yesterday I prepared this curry for the first time with slight modifications. I used both besan flour and rice flour along with spice powders.

The smell and the texture of roasted potatoes coated with masala was so appealing and drool worthy. We all loved it. Friends, do try this Tamil nadu style potato roast i.e urulaikilangu kara kari for rice and enjoy !

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash the potatoes. Cut into two pieces. Take in a pressure cooker and add sufficient water to cover the potato. Pressure cook in high flame for 2 to 3 whistles. Remember potato should not become too soft or mushy. It should be cooked but firm in shape. Open the cooker after the steam is released naturally. Take the potatoes and keep in cold water till it cools down. Peel the skin and cut into cubes as shown in the picture. You can also chop into small sized cubes if you like.  Mix the rice flour, besan flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well. Heat oil in a kadai. Splutter mustard seeds, urad, chana dal and curry leaves. Lower the flame completely. Add the spice mix and mix quickly. Add the potato cubes immediately and mix to coat well. Keep the flame medium and toss the potato gently. Keep tossing and cooking in medium flame till potato is roasted well with a nice golden color on top. Besan and rice flour coating turns crispy. If the curry sticks to the bottom of kadai, scrape it and add to the curry. It tastes so good. I used non-stick kadai, so mine was not sticking to the pan.   Switch off the flame. Serve hot with sambar, rasam and curd rice.  Enjoy !!

Note

Adjust the quantity of chilli powder as per your taste. For variations, you can add besan flour and rice flour at the end, roast till crispy and golden. Make sure you don't burn the spice powders while adding to the hot oil. Keep the flame completely low and add it. Immediately add the potato cubes to avoid burning.

Easy yummy potato kara kari is ready to enjoy with rice !
