A perfect snack for a perfect evening, the Aaloo Bhujiya goes well with tea or coffee or just nibbling while reading something. Bhujiya sev has been famous in India for a long time; someone just had to innovate using potatoes to make very similar but very different and yummy snack of Aaloo Bhujiya. It has now become a favourite of people from all over the country, and goes well on picnics and travel journeys. I also like it as a filling between bread loafs, with some ketchup. Numerous Aaloo Bhujiya packets are available in the market; however, with this recipe you can make amazing Aaloo Bhujiya at home and enjoy as much as you want.
