Aloo Bhujia
This is one recipe which i wanted to make for a long time. Actually my sister asked me to try this recipe, it is so easy to make and taste so crunchy and delicious..It has a different taste and flavour from the traditional oma podi.
The addition of boiled potatoes gives a nice crunchy and melt in mouth taste and texture to this.The addition of chat masala gives a nice aroma and tangy taste to this..

Hi Aarthi,
Looking scrumptious...but can we add mint powder instead of chat masala? If so can you share how to make a perfect mint powder. Thank you...
