Maru Bhajia (Potato Bhajia)
I love bhajias, a whole lot. Especially the ones from Slush and some café at Diamond Plaza. Both these places make such lovely bhajias just the right amount of crunchy and their chutneys make the bhajias heavenly. For many years I always made bhajia the same way, make a thick batter using the flours and water then coating the potatoes and frying. When I saw this method on Chachi’s Kitchen (She’s a Ugandan food blogger) I just had to try it and it was fantastic, you do not make a paste but let the potatoes ooze out their own water. Hope you like it. HAPPY COOKING!!
here is the process in pictures. Full recipe is below.
Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes, sliced, I used a mandolin slice, but one (here: http://africankaya.com/product/3-in-one-mandolin-slice/)
- 1 cup chickpea flour

- salt to taste (I used 1 teaspoon)
- 1 onion; sliced finely
