This is one of the traditional breakfast menu that can be prepared in weekand morning. It is also great to serve as a snack or any other meal. Poori with potato masala is a tasty and simple dish prepared with little mashed potatoes, often served with deep fried Indian bread called Poori. Pooris are golden brown, Indian bread – deep fried till puffed and crisp at edges. I guess potato is an universal favourite liked by almost everybody and I am no exception to it.My mother has been making this aloo masala side dish for poori, since our childhood. We just used to relish it every time she prepared it.
