Poori Bhaji


One of Nehal’s favorite Indian bread is Poori with Potato Bhaji (his most favorite is Butter Naan). Our weekend brunch was Poori Bhaji. I have already blogged how to make puri at Sailu’s Kitchen. Check out another version of Puri Potato curry that I make once in a while away from the monotony.
