Let this cook for a minute while stirring.
Add potatoes and mix well.
Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remember potatoes are already cooked.

Notes:


1) Use as a side dish.
2) Don't add coconut and use as a stuffing for potato wada or samosa.
3) You need more oil for tempering as potatoes absorb more oil than other veggies.
