Potato palya is a South Indian masala or curry of fried potatoes in an urad dal base flafoured with mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric and rasam powder. Instead of potatoes you could also use sweet potatoes, yams or eddoes.
Method:
Add the oil to a pan and heat until hot on medium heat then add a mustard seed. When this splutters then the oil is ready. Now add the urad dhal, chillies, asafoetida, turmeric and mustard seeds. As soon as the urad dhal has coloured a little (this will happen quickly), add the potatoes. Using a large slotted spoon keep stirring and flipping them and cook for about 10 minutes. Lower the heat then add the salt, mix well and cover the pan with a lid. Continue to cook for a few minutes more, until the potatoes are soft and crisp on the outside. Now add the rasam powder and stir to combine thoroughly. Take off the heat and serve.
Traditionally these fried potatoes are served with rice, rotis, pitta bread or Arabic flatbreads. But they can equally be served as an accompaniment to a main dish.
