Mangalore Spiced Baby Potatoes



Mangalore Spiced Potatoes

Mangalore spiced potato is lip-smacking delicious baby potato fry. This is a spicy and versatile potato dish, flavored with earthy South Indian spices. Mangalore is a food lovers paradise. It is a port city and the melting pot of several cultures and unique cuisines. I had been to Udupi and Mangalore and experienced a unique, diverse culture and traditions. The traditional Udupi meal got me intrigued by this cuisine. I wanted to recreate some of the Udupi and Mangalorean recipes. I have already posted a Mangalore fish curry.

What I love about this potato fry are its spicy bold flavors. The spice powder mix is primarily chilies, peppercorn, cumin, and coriander. The addition of coconut is a unique twist and adds lots of flavors. And also the aroma of roasted curry leaves. It is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside which is exactly how you want them to be. It is hard to stop munching on these spicy delicious baby potatoes.

I used baby potatoes, but you can also use regular ones. Baby potatoes are lifesavers in my home and you can't go wrong with them.My kid loves them roasted or fried, sauteed or baked. Baby potato is rich in essential micronutrients. Perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer. Try adding other vegetables like green peas or spinach to this potato dish. It is a perfect accompaniment with rice or pulao. Try this recipe and let me know how it turned out for you:)
