Potato Fry / Urulai kilangu Varuval the name it self tempts most of us . Best combo for rice items . I really don’t need any main dish to go with this yummy fry  . I can have as it is . But  people who like to reduce their weight should  keep a distance ,  but I believe having this weekly once not a problem  . This is my all time favourite side .
