DUDHI BHAJIA |LAUKI PAKODA PAKORA |BOTTLEGOURD FRITTER


Dudhi Bhaji or lauki pakoda is a modified version of batata bhaji which is a Maharashtrian Dish. 
Bhaji's are most popular snacks in Maharashtra. 
In between afternoon & evening the batata bhaji tastes good with a cup of hot tea or chilled butter milk.
Bhajis can even be prepared from mirchi ,onion,palak ...moong dal.But this one is my favorite of all.
