Aloo Bhujia





Craving for hot fries? You can make crispy and crunchy potato bhujia and serve it for dinner. Don't even need to peel the skin, makes it healthier and better.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 medium sized potato
1 onion
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 whole red chilli broken in half
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp dried mango powder (optional)
1 tsp roasted cumin powder (optional)
3 - 4 tbsp mustard oil or Canola oil
Salt to taste

Directions:

Cut the potatoes in thin long slices with the skin. Heat oil, add cumin seeds and whole red chilli. When the seeds start to crackle, add onions and cook it on medium flame until light brown. Add potatoes, then add turmeric powder. Cover and cook on medium flame until potato is half cooked. Then take off the lid, and cook it on medium flame until it is cooked but not overcooked. Note: do not add salt in the beginning as it may leave water and end up making the potato too soft. Add salt, red chilli powder, coriander powder, dried mango powder, and cumin powder. Saute on high flame for a few seconds. Turn off the heat and serve the hot bhujia with paratha or roti.
