8
Fry for ten seconds.
9
Finally add the prepared potatoes and mix gently for one minute.

- Non-vegetarian option includes maldive fish. Ready-made katta sambal could be used instead of dry fish flakes. It is available in Sri Lankan stores in bottles.
- The katta sambal has chilli, maldive fish, lime and salt. Heat three tablespoons oil and fry the onions until golden brown. Add two to three tablespoons katta sambal and fry for two minutes. Add the cooked potato cubes and mix well.
- The potatoes cubes can be deep-fried in one cup of oil. Drain on paper towel. Follow the same recipe as above.
