In Titus 2:5, Paul encourages older women (that’s me ) to teach younger women (that might be you) how to ‘stay busy’ or as some translations put it, ‘maintain a home’…and girls, part of maintaining a home might involve a little cooking. 

But don’t worry…the recipes I post are always simple & do-able. 

Today, we will be making…drum roll please ? ???…

Potato Mezhukkupuratti!!!

Don’t let the crazy English spelling of this simple South Indian dish intimidate you.  It’s pronounced more like potato merry-courti or as my sister & I used to say, Potato Marykutty. 

It really doesn’t matter how you say it.. here is how you make it. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Binu’s Potato Mezhukkupuratti:

Step #1 Wash & Peel 3 medium size potatoes. 

Step #2 Slice potatoes lengthwise. Wash potatoes again. 

Step #3 Slice 1 onion (lengthwise) &  2 green chili peppers (lengthwise) 

Step #4 Place potatoes, onions, green chili peppers and lots of curry leaves in a deep skillet. 

Step #5 Add 1 Tsp turmeric, 1-2 Tsp garlic powder & 1 tbsp salt. Drizzle with oil, then mix with hand

Step #6 Add a splash of water, cover and cook on medium high heat for approximately 5-7 minutes. This allows for the potatoes to cook & soften in the steam. Stir frequently. 

Step #7 Once the potato is soft, uncover & drizzle more oil on top. Increase heat & Stir frequently, allowing the potatoes to brown. 

Pray, eat & enjoy!
