KOORKA(CHINEESE POATAO) MEZHUKKUPURATTY

I like koorka  (chinese potatoes ) very much.U wont get it thru out the year.It will be available only from the months of november to february.Hubby dear is also very fond of this .But the most difficult part of this dish is the gruelling task of cleaning and peeling the skin off.Once it is done,the rest is very easy.
  U NEED
koorka                                                      1/2 kg
shallots                                                      7-8
red chillies (crushed)  or chilly flakes          3-4(2 teaspoon)
turmeric powder                                       1/4 teaspoon
curry leaves                                               2-3 sprigs
salt                                                            to taste
oil                                                             1 teaspoon
 Clean the koorka .U can cut it into thin pieces (vertically). Crush together the sahallots and red chillies(chilly flakes).Heat oil in a kadai,( it is good if u use a cheenachatty --- the black one).Add the crushed shallots,chillies and curry leaves,Saute it till it is done.Add the koorka,salt,turmeric powder.cook it in slow fire. .

(u shall add sufficient water for the koorka to be cooked).  UR   KOORKA MEZHUKKUPURATTY(KOORKKA UPPERI) IS READY.
