Hi Mullai,
My wife and I are trying this recipe as I type! It is such an easy recipe, though it takes a long time for the potatoes to cook. How long should one usually expect?
Thanks!

Kullen, its takes about 15 minutes (max), you can cover and cook the potatoes for a couple of minutes, then fry on medium high flame for 5 to 6 minutes. Sometimes when you follow this process, it tends to over cook the potatoes and might make it mushy and as a result, they tend to stick to one another. The other problem is, spread of strong cooking fumes, which of course is not a problem in India, where you have ample ventilation. But here in US, during winter with all doors and windows closed… no explanation needed on it. BTW thanks for letting me know about the spelling, sorry about that.
