Easy Potato Masala | No Garlic No Onion & No Ginger Recipe

Here is an easy to make potato masala without onion, garlic and ginger. You just need some red chilli powder and salt along with your potatoes. This can be called the 3 ingredient potato masala, it is so easy to make and tastes great with rice and Sambar combo. Also goes good with dal, curd rice and with rasam rice. You don't have to temper the potato masala with mustard or any other usual tempering ingredients, just some sauteing with the red chilli powder and salt will be enough to get you the super tasty side-dish. This is almost similar to the potato chips preparation, the only difference is we are not deep frying the potatoes pieces, instead, we are just cooking it all together with less oil. This can be handy when you are packing a lunch for kids and office goers. It is a dish with minimal ingredients and minimal effort.
