Simple Potato Palya

This is simple south Indian dish which goes very well with chapatis. If you have to cook in the morning to pack your lunch box, this is the easiest dish. I remember in my school days my uncle would make this dish for all us kids(cousins) and we would luv the way he would make it. Poor man knew to make only this and yummy Omelettes :-)

Ingredients
4 Medium sized potatoes(chopped into small cubes)
1 Onion finely chopped
2 Green chillies slit
4 Curry leaves
1/4 Teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 Teaspoon turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon chopped coriander
2 Teaspoon grated fresh coconut
2 Teaspoons refined oil
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a kadai, add the mustard to splutter, add the chillies, curry leaves and onion and fry till the onion are pink. Add the potatoes,turmeric and salt to this and cover the lid and cook till the potatoes are cooked. Add the coriander and coconut and cover the lid for 2-3 minutes. Your potatoes are ready to be served. You can have it with Dal, rice and omelette which is a nice combination.
