These lemon potatoes aka podimas (in Tamil) is mashed potatoes with lemon. There a couple of types of podimas and lemon podimas is one style. They go great with rice or roti. They are great for sandwiches or can be used for making stuffed parathas too.
Potatoes are loved by everyone. They make excellent curries, soups etc.....I mean the list is numerous. This simple curry can be easily made in 5 minutes if you have ready cooked potatoes. This curry is simple, delicious, and easy to make that it can be added to the menu for any parties. This can be a great addition to Thanksgiving Feast. Try this recipe for the Thanksgiving and let me know how you liked it. This curry is perfectly balanced in flavors. The heat comes from dried red chilies and green Thai chilies, sourness from lemon, salt - these flavors balanced by the meaty potatoes. The tempering adds a great flavor and aroma. Adjust the heat by adding more or less Thai green chilies.
This curry has a different profile than The Oven-Roasted Dutch Potatoes. They both are equally delicious and satisfying. We love them equally and are often repeated dry curry in our home.
