Potato Masala For Rice - Potato Masala With Onions (Without Coconut Milk) For Rice

This is an easy potato masala for rice with onions and spices which can be easily made and it goes great with rice for lunch or dinner.

This is different from the potato masala curry here, which too can be enjoyed with rice, as this one uses onions in the preparations and it is made without gravy.

This potato masala for rice is not dry though, it has quite a very thick masala like gravy with coats the potatoes and onions and so you can easily enjoy it with rice even if its the only dish to go with rice.

It is also different from this potato kootu curry for rice here, which too is made without gravy, but this one is different as we do not use coconut milk in the preparation of this dish, unlike the traditional potato kootu curry recipe.

This easy one pot potato masala recipe is made with two main ingredients - potatoes and onions. I didn't saute the onions early as we usually do with onion based recipes.

I added the chopped potatoes and onions together and it worked out fine. If you prefer a little sauteed or browned onions, you can saute the onions first and then add the potatoes.

This curry doesn't have much gravy but it is well coated in masala and it goes great with rice but it is also very good as a side dish for Indian style breads like nan, chapati or even dosa. It is very easy to make and delicious too.

So here is how I made this easy and tasty potato masala for rice following this easy recipe for potato masala with onions and spices.

Instructions

• Chop the potatoes into equal sized cubes, chop the onion in medium sized pieces and keep them aside.

Notes

When ever you add oil in a kadai, wok or pan (especially in kadai) make sure there is no water content in it. You can actually heat the vessel till all the water content is evaporated so that the oil will not splatter when it is added to the vessel.
