Like Potato Aloo, Aloo Bhaji
  1. Like Potato Bhaji (Aloo Bhaji). Potato is one of the most beloved vegetables. In fact, every region and every household has a different way to cook this humble vegetable. While it pairs amazingly well with most veggies, but the fun of having potatoes just tossed in a few spices is very different. Also, cooking potatoes is very quick and easy. So, here are few of my favorite aloo subzi variations that you would love to try :

How to make Potato Bhaji
  1. For preparing the Potato Bhaji (Aloo Bhaji), we require around 1.5 cups of boiled and chopped potatoes. For boiling the potatoes, firstly scrub and wash them very well. We have taken 4 medium sized potatoes.
  2. Chop the boiled potatoes into cubes with a knife and keep aside.
  3. Also, we will chop onions & coriander for the aloo bhaji and keep ready.
  4. For making the Potato Bhaji (Aloo Bhaji), heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan or kadhai.
  5. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. My mother even adds urad dal and cumin seeds in the tadka of the batata bhaji. It totally depends on your preference.
  6. When the seeds crackle, add the curry leaves and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds. Don’t let the tadka burn or else the potato bhaji might taste bitter.
  7. Add the onions. If you are making this dry potato bhaji on vrat then skip adding onions.
  8. Sauté the onions on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till they are soft and translucent.
  9. Add the turmeric powder.
  10. Add the potatoes. If you want a little mushy aloo bhaji then add around ¼ cup of water at this stage.
  11. Mix well so the spices coat the Potato Bhaji (Aloo Bhaji) very well.
  12. Add the green chilli paste to Potato Aloo Bhaji. Finely chopped green chillies can also be added but, I refer this recipe of green chilli paste  and make a batch & store in the refrigerator.
  13. Add the lemon juice. You can add a little sugar to balance the sourness if you want.
  14. Finally, add the coriander and salt to the Potato Bhaji (Aloo Sabzi) .
  15. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring Potato Bhaji (Aloo Bhaji) occasionally. Our Maharashtrian style batatyachi bhaji is ready! Aloo bhaji with puri is a very popular breakfast or dinner meal combination. 
  16. Serve the aloo bhaji with puri or masala puri for breakfast. You can even serve this aloo bhaji with a sada dosa to make it a masala dosa. Our has more than 140+ quick Indian subzi recipes that would come handy on a busy day.
