    Potato Roast Recipe | Nellai Style Urulai Roast | Stir fry Recipes

    South Indian Potato fry

    Potato is our family favorite and I take chances to try different varieties with potatoes. I have already posted potato curry a while back and this is another version with coconut. This potato roast is a popular tirunelveli/Nellai recipe and I have learnt it from Amma. Amma make this potato roast often along with tirunelveli sodhi kuzhambu (I will post the recipe soon). It tastes delicious with sodhi kuzhambu and I used to keep asking for more. This potato roast goes well with sambar or rasam too.

    Let's check how to make this simple nellai urulai roast.

    Notes:
    • You can pressure cook the potatoes and add it after tempering.  But be sure that potatoes don't turn mushy.
    • Do everything in low medium flame in order to avoid the bottom from getting burnt.
