Bihari Aloo Bhujiya or Aloo Bhujia Sabzi is a sinful spicy roast made with potatoes that are chopped as wedges. With basic spice powders, this dry saute is roasted on low flame to get the well-roasted texture.
When I decided to make Bihari Chana Dal Puri aur Sabji Nasta Thali, this was a must. I remember my Bihari colleague talking about Aloo Bhujia all the time. She said they make it so frequently and with so many dishes on the side. So, obviously, I had to make it. The Chana Dal Puri along with this Aloo Bhujia was the ultimate combination.
These Aloo Bhujia can be can referred to as Kurkure Aloo Fry Recipe as we chop the potato as wedges or long fingers. From what I understand the cooking technique followed by my friend, slow cook most dishes that they turn after a while.
So this crispy potato fry is just the thing you can enjoy! They make this Aloo ki Bhujia as Bihari Breakfast and nothing excites me more than this combination to be indulged in the morning!
We find such roast in other cuisines as well like this Sindhi Aloo Roast, Tamil Nadu Style Aloo Roast. Or you can try this Masala French Fries as well.
Enjoy this aloo roast with any meal of your choice!

It's breakfast time and this thali is tempting me. Aaloo Bhujia is such a delicious side dish, I remember relishing them in Bihar itself. Strange but the taste of veggies changes with the way they are chopped.
