Puri bhaji explained
Puri bhaji (sometimes spelled poori bhaji) is a dish, originating from the Indian subcontinent, of puri (deep-fried rounds of flour) and aloo (potato) bhaji (a spiced potato dish which may be dry or curried).[1] It is a traditional breakfast dish in North India.[2]
Many Indian households prefer puri bhaji and other traditional dishes over cereals for breakfast.[3] [4] Some serve it for lunch along with condiments such as dahi (yogurt) and salad.[5] In central India, puri bhaji is served as a street snack.[6] Puri bhaji is a vegetarian dish and is popular in India because it is relatively inexpensive and tasty.[7] The dish is also served on railway platforms in India[8] and is served as a packed lunch on trains along with pickle.[9] Puri bhaji can also be served with Lapsi.
