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.
