Puri Bhaji | Batata Bhaji

Simple and delightfully tasty, this Maharashtrian-style recipe for Puri Bhaji (also known as Poori Bhaji) is a favorite Indian breakfast and street snack. A deeply flavored semi-dry potato preparation which we call Batata Bhaji is served with crisp, fried rounds of dough known as Poori or Puri for a lovely and filling meal.

Batata Bhaji is a dry, flavorful potato curry that is spiced with green chilis, onion, ginger, and a host of Indian spices. This delicious Aloo Sabji is then served with a plateful of light and crisp fried bread known as puri (or poori).

The result of this combination is simply blissful. Creamy potatoes are flavored with bright, mild ingredients and are given a textural point of interest with the poori. This recipe for Puri Bhaji is my mom’s recipe, and it is good.
While we love to eat this carb-heavy meal for breakfast, it is also a great candidate for packing into tiffins and eating for lunch or an afternoon snack.
Puri Bhaji is often served alongside some kind of Dal, Rice, Raita, and a Kachumber or Koshimbir salad on a thali, and is also sometimes accompanied with onion slices, lemon wedges, and coconut chutney.
On the day I shot the photos for Poori Bhaji, I also made a simple Moong Dal, rice and had some pickled carrots-beet (leftover from making Carrot Kanji – a North Indian fermented preparation) to go along. This simple, easy, and comforting meal is a microcosm of the way we like to eat!
