Puri Bhaji is made by pairing a lightly spiced potato dish called Batata Bhaji with crisp, deep-fried puri. The bhaji is semi-dry and flavored with ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves and basic Indian spices. This classic Maharashtrian combination is commonly enjoyed for breakfast or as street food. Serve hot puri with batata bhaji for a hearty meal.
