Poori Masal(a) - Without Potato/Urulaikizhangu - A Healthy twist in regular Potato Masala

I had this masal(a) once in a restaurant and it was so tasty and i couldn't believe there is no potato in it. Since then i thought of trying it at home and got a chance yesterday. It came out well. 
 Potato, though have many good qualities, its high in carbohydrate, which should be avoided for diabetic and even pre-diabetic. And for a healthy lifestyle, taking moderate potato is more good. As Poori Masala is a staple South Indian food, especially in Tamil Nadu households, avoiding it is very difficult. The is no restaurants without poori masal in their breakfast menu.
And if its a holiday or a weekend, you can simply smell the masal flavor in the air as its one of the favorite kids food. So obviously its the breakfast menu in many households.
If you want treat yourself with a special food, poori masal is a good choice, add filter coffee to the list. This is a divine combo that makes your day!!
