"Batate thalasini" is a side-dish using potatoes which is typically a Konkani dish but knowing the simplicity of the dish in terms of the ingredients it may be a part of any other South Indian cuisine too which I may not be aware of.
This dish is all about textures, the potatoes have to be sliced as thin as possible, with or without the skin, and stir fry till some slices are crisp and the others soft and well done.
This dish can be prepared very easily and quickly and goes well as an accompaniment with rice and rasam or dal.
I make this dish very often, but never really thought of putting this up here cause of its simplicity, but very recently I made this for my friend's kids who loved potatoes and served it along with rice and rasam, and they loved it.
I then realized that this dish is a hit with kids too!
So that's why I decided to share this with all of you.
I normally make this for Sunday dinner or Monday's after the heavy binge on weekends.
