Potato Roast | Urulaikilangu Varuval 

Potato roast or urulaikilangu varuval is an absolutely delicious and very traditional South Indian fry variety. Usually, potato varuval / fry is made by

chopping the potatoes to cubes but in this variety, we cut the potatoes into slightly thick circular shapes then pressure cook them along with all the other ingredients, and later transfer the cooked potatoes along with the water to a pan and allow the water to evaporate completely and slowly roast them. Believe me, it will taste absolutely divine . This is my family's traditional heirloom recipe. Check out the recipe below.
