Carrot and potato masala is a simple and delicious side dish for white rice with sambar. I have tasted a slight variation of this fry at my friend’s place which I liked very much. So thought of trying and posting it here.

Ingredients:

• 2 nos – Carrot (chopped finely)
• 2 nos – Potato (chopped finely)
• 1 no – Onion
• 1/4 tsp – Turmeric powder
• 1/2 – 1 tsp – Red chilli powder
• Salt as needed

Seasonings:

• 2 tsp – Oil
• 1/4 tsp – Mustard seeds
• 1/4 tsp – Split black gram
• 4 or 5 nos – Curry leaves

Preparation method:

1. Heat oil in a pan, season with items given for seasoning. Add onion along with required salt and saute until golden brown.
2. Add chopped carrot and potato; saute for few seconds. Cover with lid and cook until vegetables are 3/4 done.
3. Add turmeric powder and red chilli powder, saute till raw smell goes. Once vegetables are done, switch off the stove and serve hot with sambar, white rice.

Notes:

• You can use this masala for stuffing samosa.
