Suhal Aloo- A crispy flaky fried snack served with spicy potato masala
Suhal aloo is a specialty from Uttar Pradesh. It is sold as a snack in most of the cities especially popular in Bareilly and Kanpur. Suhal is made with refined flour. You can add some sooji to add crispiness, but it is optional.
The recipe of Suhal is almost similar in all the cities but the size and shape may differ. In Kanpur, it is sold like a round crisp puri and in Bareilly it is cut in four pieces and sold like triangles. The main difference is the potato served with suhal. In Kanpur, they add tadka in potatoes but in Bareilly, they just chop the boiled potatoes and add few spices in it, no tadka or oil is added in the potatoes. In some shops they also give chutney along with aloo .
You can make Sohal and easily store for a month and serve whenever you want to. It tastes equally good with raita and chutney . My kids love making its chaat , Just drizzle some curd and both the chutneys on it and enjoy like papdi chaat. Now you can make it and enjoy with different accompaniments on Holi.
