Aloo Bhujia is a popular Indian snack made from a mixture of gram flour (besan) and mashed potatoes (aloo), which are spiced and deep-fried to create thin, crispy, and flavorful strands. This savory snack is known for its light, crunchy texture and its spicy, tangy flavor, making it a favorite treat across India.
The preparation of Aloo Bhujia involves mixing boiled and mashed potatoes with gram flour, along with a variety of spices such as red chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, chaat masala, and sometimes dried mango powder (amchur) for a tangy kick. The dough is then extruded through a sev maker or a mold with fine holes and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
