Poori Masala | Potato Masala for Poori | Poori Kizhangu Masala

Potato masala prepared with potato and onion  is the perfect accompaniment for Poori and hence it got the name “Poori Masala”. It is also called as Poori Kizhangu  or Poori Kizhangu Masala. We can relish the taste of Poori  to the core,  only when it is combined with this dish. The other side dishes will come only next to this. Whenever  I make Poori,  I  prepare this side dish. Sometimes I even drop the idea of making Poori, if  the ingredients for preparing Poori Masala are not on hand.

Ingredients:

• Potato – 2 Nos. (Medium)
• Big onion (chopped)  - 2 Nos.
• Green chillies (slitted into 4 ) – 5 to 6 Nos.
