Poori Bhaji -Tangy potato bhaji with  Indian fried Bread/Poori – Potatoes in spicy vegetarian broth/Specialty from the state of Kathiyawad (Gujarat)

Poori Bhaji is a very popular breakfast/brunch dish in India. Every state have its own special recipe of making Potato bhaji depend – Some prefer to make it dry, some make it semi dry and some make it a thin watery broth.

Today I am sharing the special Kathiyawadi style of making Poori Bhaji – Gujarati style chaal wala Bataka nu shaak/ bhaji (without onion, garlic and tomatoes) – which can be served with Pooris as Poori Bhaji or can also be served as a side dish with parathas or rotis. This sweet and sour potato curry is served with hot and Crisp Poori and  kachumbar salad

If you are in Dubai – do try this at Ashok Restaurant – a low key, hole in the wall eatery run in Meena Bazaar, Bur Dubai. This is a signature dish of Ashok Maharaj, who has been running this restaurant for more than 20 years now and we’ve lost count of how many times have ordered poori bhaji from there.
