Pavani
Hi Pavani, yes, it is a little unusual to boil onions and mix with potatoes, isn't it? But trust me, it tastes dilicious! Like they serve in B'lore Restaurants..
Add salt,turmeric when boiling onions and keep it little crispy not mushy. Thanks !
I have just returned from India and was looking for a recipe for payla. It was one of my favorite dishes there along with dosa. Can't wait to try your recipe out. I am from Prince Edward Island, Canada; where we grow a lot of potatoes. The soil in the south of India was red much like the soil of PEI. Good for crops! Thanks again...Cathy (hooked on India)
Hi,

Hi SRS, glad you are trying this recipe.It's delicious with dosa. I will assure you will love it.
Take 2-3 big onions,slice them about 1/4" thickness and put in a bowl with water, turmeric and salt.Microwave it for about 5 mins or more.Texture should be soft outside but still little crunchy to bite in the middle just like in the restaurants.Drain and mix with Aloo.Tell me how did you like it or if you need any info!:)Thanks
Just look at you! I lost everything in my PC and now that I'm back up and running,I find you've streamlined your blog yet again and it looks marvelous...so do the potatoes!

Hi Sunil, this is different from usual palya we all make. Boiled inion gives it a nice crunch and get that restaurant taste. I am so glad you tried it, enjoy!:))
Hi Asha
I just made and had alugedde palya following your recipe. Sakkath sooper aagithu. Thanks!
It was relatively quick and I made enough palya for at least 2 days!! - very desirable for a single guy like me :D .. Awesome!
-Manohar
Haha!! Thanks Manohar. Glad you tried it. Most people just don't realize this is a different kind of palya than the usual alugedde palya and don't even try it. This is excellent for masale dose, I love it too. Enjoy! :))
Boiling onions was a new trick for me. I tried your recipe and it worked out great. Did not think that it would be that easy, yet that tasty.
Thanks very much for posting it.
