The potatoes are cooked until tender and then sautéed with these aromatic spices to create a flavorful, slightly crispy exterior. This dish is known for its simple yet robust flavors, making it a comforting side dish that pairs well with rice and dal. Mezhukkupuratti, meaning coated with oil, highlights the technique of stir-frying that brings out the richness of the potatoes.
