What do you eat farai sukhi bhaji with?
This was one of my favorite farali foods. Easily pairs with some yogurt and masala peanuts for a filling upvas meal. If fasting, you can have with rajigira poori as well. If not fasting, we love to have it with masala rotli.
Other farali recipes I have include moraiyo ni khichdi and sabudana ni khichdi.
Key Ingredients
As you can see in the picture below, this doesn’t require many ingredients! Since this is the case, I recommend not skipping on ingredients. They all come together for big flavor!
Roasted, ground peanuts: I keep a jarred bottle of roasted, ground peanuts at home. It helps save time for many recipes. I like using crushed nuts because it coats the potatoes and gives it a great taste throughout. If you prefer, you can lightly pan fry some peanuts to add to the bhaji instead.
Curry leaves: If you do not have a curry pata plant at home, you can easily find these at your local Indian store. The leaves are sold in bunches there.
Potatoes: I used Russet potatoes.
Tips For Making the Sukhi Bataka Bhaji
- Cooking moves quick: Have all the ingredients ready ahead of time – boil and cut the potatoes!
- Cut potatoes in medium size pieces. If cut too small they will become mushy.
- If you like crispy potatoes, add an extra teaspoon of oil
