Are you fond of Haldiram aloo bhujia? Don’t worry even you can make an equal flavor recipe following our step by step image instructions, tips and video.

There are many deep-fried snacks and sev recipes but people who love the potato and blended with the flavors of spicy condiments love to eat this recipe.

Making a snack is usually a time taking process. Also, we feel snacks bought from the store are tastier than homemade. But making our snack keeps us healthy.

If you have a habit of eating snacks during tea time then you may try this recipe. Also, homemade recipes are free from harmful tasting ingredients and preservatives.

TIPS to make perfect Aloo Bhujia Recipe:

• Once potatoes are boiled, either we can grate them or blend in a mixer grinder to get a soft paste.
• We can substitute garam Masala powder with chat Masala or pav bhaji Masala. 
• Sometimes we may end up with aloo lumps if we grate so I made a smooth paste.
• If you want to experiment with the flavour of this recipe try adding ginger powder and onion powder.
• As sev is very thin and the batter has potato this must be deep-fried on low flame.
• Once namkeen sev turns golden brown remove from oil or else they get burnt in no time.
• We may sprinkle spice powder over the aloo bhujia recipe immediately when removed from the oil.
• Sprinkling spice powder on sev, while oil is hot, will stick and last for a long time.
• When making in large quantities, store them in an air-tight container.
• While mixing all ingredients if you feel the batter is hard we can add little water with spoons or if the batter becomes loose then add chana dal flour to get a smooth batter.
• If the batter is hard, it becomes hard to squeeze the murukku mold whereas if it loses then it absorbs more oil.
• When we press sev directly in oil, we feel hot vapors of oil and if your skin is sensitive it may get burnt. Be careful in choosing the right murukku press.
