ALU BHUJIA

I am back with potatoes again.This time at the instance of my daughter,who likes only selected snack items came upto me and asked for alu bhujia.I believe and i’m afraid many of you agree with me making snacks at home is not only less expensive but also healthy as well.It requires patience and practice though.So when it was heavily raining here in Bangalore,i made this on a Saturday evening.You could make it bulk and store them.Stays crispy for 2 weeks.Assembling the ingredients let’s start to make this North Indian snack item.
