Savor the spicy, savory crunch of Aloo Bhujia.

Base Ingredients: The snack is made primarily from a dough that combines cooked and mashed potatoes (aloo) with chickpea flour (besan). The potato adds a unique tenderness and texture compared to snacks made only with besan.

 Pungent Spices: Aloo Bhujia is known for its bold flavor, achieved by seasoning the dough with spices that typically include turmeric (for color), red chili powder, amchur (dry mango powder) for tang, and often a touch of asafoetida (hing) for its distinct savory aroma.

 Frying Technique: The seasoned dough is extruded through a specialized press (like a Sev maker) into thin, fine strands or sticks and then immediately deep-fried until golden-brown and perfectly crisp.

 Versatile Snack: Aloo Bhujia is enjoyed on its own as a quick tea-time snack, but it is also widely used as a topping or garnish to add flavor and crunch to various Indian street foods, such as chaat, sandwiches, and even noodle dishes.

 Shelf-Stable: It is a highly popular packaged snack across India and internationally due to its long shelf life and consistent flavor profile.
