Jhuri Aloo Bhaja

Jhuri aloo bhaja is crispy fried potato julienne or chips that are quite popular in Bengali cuisine.It can be served with almost any dal,curry and rice.Actually,it’s a very easy recipe and need not much effort.The main trick to get the crispier Bhaja is to wash them a couple of times under running water to remove all of the starch.


I wanted to make the chips in larger amount,but had to skip and made them with 3 big potatoes only as for me the hard part was the grating of the potatoes.I am really lazy for all those  work that needs muscle power whether it is gajar ka halwa or lauki ke kofte, the grating part would be Mr.H’s.Go ahead and make these simple crispy potato chips and munch them on with a cup of tea.
