Aloo Bajji

Ingredients

500 gms Potatoes
4 Onions (medium size)
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 Tbsp Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp Jeera Powder
1 1/2 tsp Salt
10 slices Bread
Cooking Oil for deep frying
Finely chopped coriander leaves

Cooking Method

1. Cook, peel, and mash the potatoes.
2. Finely chop the onions and sauté them till transparent.
3. Mix the mashed potatoes, sautéed onions and the spice powders finely.
4. You can also add finely chopped coriander leaves to enhance taste and flavour.
5. Make oval shaped balls from this mix and keep aside.
6. Heat sufficient quantity of cooking oil.
7. Now, soak one bread slice in water, hold it in between your palms, and squeeze the water out of it.
8. Place one of the oval potato balls on the slice of bread.
9. Fold the bread slice gently using your palm. See to it that the bread covers the entire ball of potato. If you have squeezed too much water out of the bread slice, it may be difficult to bind the bread and potato together. You can judge the amount of water to be retained so that perfect binding can take place.
