Aloo Masala| Poori Masal | Poori Masala| Version - 1

Today is the 2^nd day of Blogger Marathon# 5 by Sri valli. Today’s recipe is favorite one for all of us, Poori masal. Im addicted to this potato masal which is given in Saravana bhavan, Chennai. There are 2 types of Masala , this version I learnt it from my mom and the other version from my MIL.

               The topic which I chosen for this marathon is curry in a hurry and this recipe can be prepared really in a hurry and it takes only 15 – 20 min. My mom even prepares this masala without onion. That will also be good as we are adding ginger and green chili. This is an easier and tastier side dish for poori. The best and easiest tiffen item which I can make it with in 30min is poori and masala. This is one of the favorite Tiffin of my family. Happy to post this recipe today. Here we go on to the recipe.
