This is an easy lunch box recipe and its a basic dish in south indian recipes. It goes to the category of variety rice. This goes well with a different versions of potato fry called as urulaikilangu poriyal in tamil. 

My mom at least make this once in a week, when i was going to school. I would always love to eat it with her special diamond potato fry.

Do try this dish and leave me your comments.
