LASUNI BATATA BHAJI |Lasooni aloo pakoda|garlic flavoured potato fritter

Batata Bhaji is famous Maharashtrian Dish. Bhaji's are most popular snacks in Maharashtra. Most popular are batata bhajji & kandi bhaji.

We get these bhaji with pavs (buns) served with  garlic chutney , green chutney  & imli chutney.

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.
