Potato is a favorite veggie among everyone. Potato Stir-fry / Potato Poriyal / Potato Vepudu / Aloo Sabzi makes for a delicious side dish that is full of flavor and goes well with a ton of different meal options (like lemon rice, coconut rice, sambar, rasam or even chapati.)
This recipe calls for one big onion. I recommend that you don’t skip this one, (as I know people either love them or hate them.) However, they add tons of flavor to this dish. It is easy enough that I usually will make it for a side dish for a nice weekend lunch or something like that.
