Potato Tomato Fry / Urulai Kizhangu Poriyal recipe – a simple South Indian style dry potato curry. This recipe has potatoes cooked with onions and tomatoes along with spices.

Isn’t potato one of the most versatile veggies. They can be roasted, mashed, fried..the list can be long! There’s one thing you can’t deny, any which way you prepare them, they turn out yummy.

On the nutrition front, potatoes are rich in carbohydrates and also a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and magnesium.

This recipe is very easy to make and I usually prepare this as a side dish for sambar, rasam or curd rice. It goes well with rotis and poori also. Potatoes are first boiled and then pan fried with onions and tomatoes along with masalas which give a nice flavor to the curry.
