Recipe Story

Potato song is one of my favorite dishes. Its easy to make and it tastes very good. I love this dish along with neer dosa or with rice and dal. The taste is a bit spicy and a bit tangy. We do make different variations: We can use cauliflower and prepare cauliflower song, or we can use green peas and make batani song or sometimes we even use okra and make bhindi song or use eggplant or mushrooms. But the famous would be potato song. Another good variation for this dish is white beans and we call it avare song which goes very well with sevai (A kind of rice noodles).
