Aloo Bhaji and Puri


            Puri bhaji or poori bhaji is a breakfast or a snack served all over the India. But this is a traditional breakfast in north India. Each region serves different type of potato bhaji (subzi /curry). Puri is fried indian bread made with wheat flour or white flour called maida in India. Bhaji is always made with potato though the making is different in every region.
           South India will surprise you with little dry bhaji and for the lovely crunch they add little urad dal (black skinless lentils) and chana dal (chickpeas lentils). if you go to Delhi then it will be served with greavy and it will come with spiced curds (yoghurt) or pickel or even a papad and salad. West Bengal will add curds (yoghurt) as greavy. Puri bhaji is so versatile and inexpensive that is is served every where. Even on railways platform to enjoy as a snack or for passengers as a to go lunch. Many people choose poori bhaji over modern cereal breakfast or Western food items. Even kids love puri bhaji too.
             Once on the way of Washington DC, USA we stopped by a restaurant called Amma kitchen thay served us a lovely puri bhaji. Most of the restaurants have this dish in their menu as it's popularity and delicious taste. 
Do try this full filling complete dish, but make sure you don't order other dish before you finish with Puri bhaji.
Happy eating foodies!!!😊

My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot. So you can guess the hotness of the peppers.                         This dish I came across when I was scrolling through some random videos. Name itself is so catchy so I started my search. After watching tons of recipe video and talking to my mom I figured out the authentic recipe and it was a real hit.
