Yummly
For the third day of BM#35 second week , I have prepared this wonderful combo for lunch . Batata means Aloo and Bhaji means Sabzi , it literally means a simple yet delicious side dish to be accompanied with puffed breads or Pooris. I have already posted Punjabi style gravy version of Aloo Poori which is also amazing in itself but the Maharashtrian used to make the dry potato bhaji with pooris.

Seriously who doesn’t like Poori Aloo , I bet everyone loves this classic combo to enjoy as breakfast or in lunch as main course . And if there is some pickle and raita on the side then no need of envy thing else . This is a marvelous combo to enjoy on weekends and indulge yourself in heavenly taste. So let’s start the recipe . Yum
