Nadan Urulaizhangu Curry is a rustic Kerela style creamy curry made with potatoes and coconut milk.
Potatoes are a hot favourite with me and trying various curries or side dishes with it always leaves me in safety. Whenever I am trying new cuisine with different veggies, I always include one potato dish. One can never go wrong with them.
Nadan Urulaizhangu Curry ( well I am still having problem in pronouncing the name 🙁 ) is a delicious curry, where I have used whole potatoes to mock the eggs. The original recipe had eggs, so I carefully choose the potatoes of egg size and shape! The gravy has very little tomato but still has a wonderful flavour from onions and coconut. A coconut curry which is not so coconut – but yet had a very very pleasing taste. My children do not like any dish which has an overpowering coconut taste so I have to be careful while choosing the recipes.
This potato curry was a part of the Meal from Kerela that I had prepared to showcase the Indian Flatbread Pathiri from the Malabar region of Kerela. Ever since I made Pathiri, it has become a family favourite and is made at least once a week. Since this and a few other Thali’s were still in drafts, I shall be posting them under The Thali and Platter Festival.

I was so much tempted to make a Kerala thaali but had to discard the idea because of my husband who doesn’t like coconut. the curry sounds to be a flavorful one and the baby potatoes seem to have fit nicely in the recipe.
This is a lovely gravy with potatoes. We love coconut and all of our gravies mostly have coconut in it…so wouldn’t mind making this Vaishali. Love your whole setup! The efforts you take to find new recipes and make it is simply awesome!
Wow! I have never had potatoes in coconut milk. sounds very yumm.
Gravy looks so flavorful with all those masalas and mouthwatering. Coconut milk makes the dish even more delicious.
What a brilliant idea to use potatoes in the place of eggs. Really great Vaishali. I should try this way. Thanks for sharing.
Love this curry so rich and creamy. I liked your idea of replacing potatoes here, But I will try with egg as I am looking to add egg curry recipes for my family.
