Who will say no to any sort of potato dish?? not me..i just love potato roast like anything..when i was googling for Srilankan potato dishes, i got hooked with this deviled potato fry which needs hardly few minutes to prepare... i prepared this yummy, spicy potato fry with simple and easy ingredients which is quite our usual spices, even i thought that srilankan dishes may need different spices and mostly prepared with coconut milk..its was completely wrong, they used to prepare many dishes as Tamilians with simple spices, but their curries and fries are quite spicy when compared to our's...Today our lunch menu was completely Srilankan cuisine, for lunch i prepared srilankan paruppu kari and fried eggplant curry..everything tastes fabulous and i'll be posting very soon the other two srilankan dishes which i prepared today for our lunch..Obviously this potato side dish goes to
