Potato Bhaji Recipe

‘Bhaji’ is a generic term used for a dry vegetable dish. A bhaji could be made using any and every kind of vegetable, but let’s talk a little about the omnipresent and widely consumed vegetable – potato. A potato bhaji is to vegetable dishes, what ‘classic salted’ chips are to other Lays variants – the simple and classic. To make this simple preparation all you need is some boiled potatoes, essential spices, chilies, and onion. Really, that’s it.

Usually had with some flatbread, as a side dish with rice and dal, or as a filling spread between plain dosa, the potato bhaji is the perfect dish to make when you are craving a delicious yet supremely easy to make meal. Follow the recipe below and whip up a quick potato bhaji at home within minutes!
