STARTUP COOKING

Poori Masala (potato masala) is a popular South Indian side dish for poori and chapathi. It is a very versatile dish that goes as a delicious side dish for many breakfast items. It can even be used as a filling for samosas or dosas.

Potato Masala is also known as Urulai Kizhangu Masala in Tamil which is a mixture of boiled potatoes, lentils, green chillies, curry leaves, ginger, onion and tomato and it is a traditional accompaniment for the Indian fried and puffed bread - poori especially in North and South India. 

Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, good source of fibre and its naturally gluten free and also its incredibly filling. This side dish is great for everyday breakfast, special occasions, festivals, pot lucks or any get-together. 

My son loves this poori masala and says that poori is incomplete without this potato masala. Follow my step by step photo recipe to prepare Poori Masala. If you like this recipe share it, tweet it and pin it. Please do try and post your comments.
