Potato Carrot Mezhukkupuratti

This is a very tasty and easy mezhukkuperatti recipe. Potato and carrot makes a great combination and when it is sauted in oil it gives a balanced taste that is clearly out of this world. The masalas used may vary from place to place. Here I've used turmeric, garam masala and chilly powder. I've tried the same with cumin powder and turmeric and that also tastes great.
