Poori Bhaji
Poori Bhaji is a classic, comforting Indian meal that’s simple yet deeply satisfying. It pairs Poori — small, round, deep-fried breads — with Bhaji, a mildly spiced potato curry.
Pooris are made from whole wheat flour dough rolled into small discs and deep-fried until they puff up and turn golden brown, with a light, soft texture inside and a slightly crisp exterior.
The Bhaji is a warm, flavorful curry made by cooking boiled potatoes with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, turmeric, and a touch of cumin or mustard seeds. It’s usually garnished with fresh coriander and sometimes flavored with a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
Served together, Poori Bhaji is a beloved breakfast or brunch dish across India — hearty, satisfying, and best enjoyed hot with a side of pickle or yogurt!
