Jhuri aloo bhaja/crispy crunchy potato fries|| Goes great with steamed rice (Sada Bhaat) and daal (lentil soup)|| Very common it in occasions and festivals

‘Jhuri aloo bhaja’ or crispy crunchy potato fries is a very popular item in Bengali Cuisine. It’s a must in any festival or in get together or picnic or any bengali themed occasions.

We ‘The Bengalis’ start out bengali thali with steamed rice (Sada Bhaat),with a side of lentil soup (daal, preferably ghono mooger daal),some of these jhuri aloo bhaja and a lemon wedge…..believe how tempting the remaining dishes are,you can easily clean up a plate of rice with this item only…..at least I can easily do thatπŸ˜‹.

The only effort is the cutting, we’ve shown 2 methods but the 3rd method is use a grater,but I personally don’t suggest that because if you don’t have a very good quality grater then there’s a chance,you will end up into a lumps of grated potatoes hard to separate.

So,let’s not waste any time and get ready to make jhuri aloo bhaja/crispy crunchy potato fries…in my style πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
