Poori Masala is a simple potato curry version especially enjoyed in the south-India. Most vegetarian hotels in south India have poori masala served and which is loved by all. I even personally like the Poori masala from vegetarian restaurants. The recipe is so simple with fewer ingredients but is mildly spiced with the aroma of cooked potatoes, green chilies, curry leaves, and coriander leaves. The curry doesn't use chili powder, coriander powder, or garam masala. 

The curry can be served with chapati, poori, or even appam or crispy dosa. But my personal favorite is along with poori.

Some Notes:


  • While cooking potatoes if adding salt make sure you adjust salt while sauteing onion
  • My chilies were spicy, so added 3, if not, add more
  • Instead of besan, you can use cornflour/ chickpea flour to thicken the masala. But I prefer besan(gramflour).
  • You can add a tsp of coconut oil for extra flavor.
  • Even you can add some chopped carrots also. But here I haven't added.
  • When adding besan make sure to cook well until the raw smell is gone.
