POTATO COCONUT MILK KURUMA!!

This is the most favourite dish in my close friend’s household. She makes this kuruma as a side dish for idlies. For this purpose she makes the idly like small oothappam. She spreads the idly batter in a greased small hollow plate like oothappam and then steam it like idly. Then she pours this kuruma on the steamed idly and allows it to soak in the kurma for a few minutes.  The result is a delicious first-class break fast for the family.
