Urla Gadda(Potato) Pindimirium

This is another variation of preparing pindimirium using urla gadda. Urla gadda is a Telugu name for Potato. In southern parts of Andhra potato is called as urla gadda. And in other regions refer it as “Bangala dumpa”. To prepare this I have used moong dal instead of toor dal. This tastes amazing. And also instead of ground paste I have added freshly prepared rasam powder. This pindimirium is so simple especially when you don’t have veggies at home and want to finish effortless cooking in no time. Potato and moong dal cooked together and finally rasam powder is added. Here I present quick, easy and delicious potato pindimirium to relish the day. Njoy Cooking,Serving n Savoring!
