Spicy Potato Stir fry / urulla kizhaghu Mezhukku puratti is a simple and tasty Kerala style vegetable preparation. Back home, in my school college days it is one of my favourite lunch box side dish. Yes! It is a perfect and desirable side dish for me with boiled rice and chamandhi or sambar or moru curry or rasam 🙂 . Those days we close friends used to share and enjoy our lunch box dishes each other with lots of fun, jokes, film stories, gossip 😉 , new fashions and trend. Oh God! My tongue still recalls the divine and delicious dishes that were prepared by my friend’s mothers which include Hindu, Muslims and Christian preparations. When there have any religious festivals like Onam, Christmas and Ramadan , after the holidays we have a great feast . Hmm.. I am really miss all those special moments 🙁 but I have no regrets too because I enjoyed a lot those days and still remember each moments like yesterday. Yeah! It is a life time memory for me 🙂 Sometimes we never know a true value of moment until it becomes a ‘memory’.Recall your school days and go back into the past, it’s a special and fresh feeling 🙂 Have a nice day guys 🙂 Here is my school time favourite (even now) 😉 🙂 recipe. Hope you also like and enjoy it as much as I do 🙂
