Urulakizhangu – Keralan Potato Curry is popular throughout Kerala. It was love at first taste for us when our gracious hosts, the Menon family of The Turmerica, shared the recipe. And, we couldn’t help think it’s Kerala’s answer to that old British standard, the potato scallop.
The difference is that these potatoes and onions cook in coconut instead of cow’s cream. Green chillies and a hint of cinnamon lend subtle spicing. The results are mouth-watering.
