Potato roast / Urulai Chettinadu Recipe, is a simple south Indian potato curry, that goes very well with sambar rice or rasam rice or curd rice. This is chettinad style of potato fry and I got this recipe from my cookbook. This potato roast is very simple to make side dish, all you need to do is to boil the potatoes and roast them with spices. In this potato fry recipe, I used whole garam masala spices which adds a zing to this dish. I tried this dish 2 days back, it turned out so good and I had it with dal rice (Arisim Paruppu sadham).

You can serve this south Indian style potato roast as a sidedish for sambar or rasam or curd rice.
