If you are following me in Instagram you would know how much I love Tamilnadu style Poori Masal combo 😉 I even have a separate hashtag #resh_poorimasal for my Boori Posts 😬 With just basic ingredients this Masal tastes so good. I keep my recipe very simple. Hence I only use green chillies & ginger for adding flavor+spice to the dish. Adding Garam Masala or any other masala powder will ruin the taste of this humble dish.
Having Busu Busu Poori along with this Potato Masal is pure bliss. That too on a lazy Sunday morning 😊The consistency is based on your preference. I prepared this side dish yesterday in Instant Pot. It tasted so good and also it was ready in 15-20 minutes. If you don’t have an IP kindly try the recipe in Pressure Cooker. Pressure cook for upto 4 whistles. Just ensure that you have added enough water to the cooker so that it doesn’t get burnt at the bottom.
I prepared this as a sidedish for Chapathi last night. Consciously saved a cup of it to have Masala Dosai today for breakfast 😬 The below recipe serves 4 people..
