Aloo Sev Bhujia Namkeen – Potato Besan Noodles – a popular crisp savory snack made from mashed potatoes, chickpea flour and spices. Eat a spoonful of aloo bhujia, and you will want to upturn the whole bag into your mouth.
It is a must make during festivals or during meet ups, and is served with Murukku, Chivda Namkeen, and other dry snacks. It can also be enjoyed as an evening snack with a hot cup of tea.
