Potato palya + Lime rice/Tomato rice

A combo meal from Christabel/Sundari :)

Karipatta=Curry Leaf
Haldi=Turmeric powder

Potato Palya
Heat oil and throw in some mustard seeds + karipatta + 1 clove garlic chopped. When they (mustard seeds) begin to crackle throw in fine chopped onions and green chillies and fry till well-cooked. Add very little tomato and cook well till onions start browning and tomato is well cooked. Add the chopped potato a dash of haldi + salt and a little bit of water (to provide steam for potatoes to cook in but not so much as to make a curry!!). Cover and let it cook for 15 mins to 30 mins depending on how much potato you got in there. Add green coriander at the end and mix well.

Lime Rice
Heat oil. Add mustard seeds and when they crackle add karipatta + onions + green chillies + jeera seeds. Fry till onions are brown. Add a dash of haldi + juice of half a lime + green coriander leaves + salt. Fry for a few seconds. Now add cooked white rice and mix well. Can add more lime if needed and some roasted peanuts (optional).

Tomato Rice
Fry onion and green chillies. Add tomatoes + chilli powder + haldi + karipatta (Curry leaf). Cook these well. Then add raw rice and enough water and cook. Can add a dash of butter for added flavour.

  1. Yummy...just a small suggestion...for the lime rice..it may be a gud idea to add the lime juice in the end because at times when added to a seasoning it may turn bitter and change the original flavor! - lakshmi
