Potato Kootu / Potato Poriyal


This potato side dish makes me nostalgic. My mother used to prepare this for lunch during my school days. Along with plain rice and rasam this side dish will be most of the combo. I too liked it soo much. My mom used to tell that she had kept this kootu for lunch so that i'll be happy. Because i don't like to eat rice at school instead tiffin will be better. But the school order was to bring rice for lunch, so I had no other go. Rice with rasam will be dry when opening the tiffin box during lunch hour but this kootu will be fresh so definitely my first bite will be this tasty side dish. Very easy to prepare this so give a try .
