Potato spicy rice| Alugadde masale bath
As the name itself says the main ingredients in this dish are Potato & Rice. In the same procedure you can prepare this rice with French beans , Cluster beans, cabbage, Capsicum, Brinjal etc individually OR by using more than one vegetable or mixed vegetable.
This is one of the best one pot meal which suits lunch box too. This rice dish, though made spicy doesn’t need any kind of raita to go with it. But if you wish you can always pair this with a raita of your choice. Today I have paired this spicy rice dish along with Poppy seeds Kheer/gasagase payasa
