  • Peel the potatoes and place them whole in a pressure cooker. Pressure cook for 3 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into large pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or kadai over medium heat. Add the curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the cooked potato pieces, salt, and turmeric powder to the skillet.
