Bihari Aloo Bhujia

Bihari Aloo Bhujia Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe.

Bihari Aloo Bhujia is a staple dish from Bihar. It is mostly prepared in all households as daily meals.

People often confuse it with fried aloo bhujia, which available in the market in the packaged form. But this is a sabji version of aloo bhujia which is served fresh with roti, dal chawal.

Simple meals become comforting with the addition of such dishes in the meal. I love simple Indian food which is not only delicious but also healthy and nutritious.

Aloo or potato is everyone’s favorite and there so many dishes in starters, snacks or mains that are prepared using it.

Making a main course cant get any simpler and easier than this one.

This regional dish of Bihar is easy to make and requires very basic ingredients from our daily Indian kitchen.

This is in not an authentic recipe which is prepared with onion and garlic. I have customized this recipe a bit and made it No Onion No Garlic recipe.

Bihari Aloo Bhujia is prepared with thinly sliced finger potatoes with turmeric, salt and tempered in mustard oil with cumin seeds.

I have added a few more spices in this recipe, but you can totally skip it to get the authentic flavours.

Bihari Aloo Bhujia is a rustic recipe which every Bihari would love to eat and take pride in the simplicity of it.
