Papadi aloo or avarakka potato  subzi is one of the favorite dish of my family. It is very easy to make and good side dish for rotis. This is the  season for papadi. I thought of making this dish for my son who came for a holiday. Let us see how to make this side dish. I used mustard oil to make this dish. Mustard oil gives good tastes to this subzi and good for this cool climate.
