Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Puri Bhaji
- For extra crispy puris, add a teaspoon of ghee or oil to the dough.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when deep-frying the puris; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy puris.
- If your potatoes are too dry, add a tablespoon of water to the bhaji to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices and vegetables in the bhaji to customize it to your liking. Adding peas or green chilies would be delicious!
