Potato podimas/ urulaikilangu podimas

Urulaikilangu podimas recipe with step by step pictures 


               The ultimate south-indian Potato recipe is the Potato podimas (urulaikilangu podimas).  This recipe is a sidedish for vegetarian meal in most of the South-indian marriages.  I thought it was a limited version of poori kilangu(poori masala).  I have cooked with potatoes alone.  You can add some carrots,  beans or green peas which gives you nice look for the recipe.  I liked this recipe soo much.
