How to make Aloo Bhujia Sev (Diwali Snacks)

October 31, 2021 by maria 11 Comments

Aloo Bhujia Sev Recipe – a popular crisp savory snack made from mashed potatoes, chickpea flour and spices. You could make them as a Diwali snack or make as a side snack for kid’s. These are quite easy to make home also you could make in bulk quantities and then store them for future use.

How to make Aloo Bhujia Sev (Diwali Snacks)

We quite often make aloo bhujia home as hubby loves them. There are many variations of this recipe you could alter the spices and add them as per your choice. Some add chili powder, lime juice etc I have used green chilies for the spice.

Sometimes all I need is a hot cup of chai (tea) with some aloo bhujia sprinkled with onion and lime juice. My mouth is watering already writing about it 😉

Today’s recipe of aloo bhujia is crispy, tangy, mildly spiced and quite tempting. The only challenge is making the dough for this dish. As the dough is quite sticky and has to be that way for perfect crisp aloo bhujia.

For me to make this was quite easier as my mom made them while I clicked them 😉

Aloo Bhujiya Recipe

Let’s make Aloo Bhujia Sev Recipe step by step:

  1. Firstly boil the potatoes until tender. Alternatively, you could pressure cook them.

7. Start kneading the dough they would appear like bread crumbs initially.

8. Please don’t add water while kneading as the potato has a lot of moisture in it.

9. Allow the dough to rest for 15-20 mins.  Knead into a soft and sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky add a little oil and knead.

10. Grease the chakli maker or the moulds with oil. Also, grease and use the-the mould / disc with the finest hole for bhujiya. I don’t have a pic for this step but will add them soon.

11. Heat oil in a deep wide pan or vessel.

12. Add small piece of the dough for testing. If it comes up that means you are ready to fry the bhujiya.

16. Now slowly press the chakli maker and spread the bhujiyas to fry in the hot oil. Fry little at a time don’t cluster with too many. Fry on low-medium heat.

17. Keep checking and flipping them while frying. Once they look golden brown in color and appear to be crisp.

18. Remove them on a colander or a paper napkin as it would absorb excess oil.

19. Allow them to come at room temperature then transfer them in an air-tight container.

This should last up to 10 days also you could add more seasoning if you wish to. Serve your aloo bhujiyas with tea or coffee.

    Your recipe sounds good. But have not mentioned what to do with the green paste. Assume it is added to the potatoes for the dough?

      Thankyou Anita 🙂 the green paste or chutney is added in the potato dough while you add the spices, it’s mentioned and I have further modified that information. Hope this helps you do let us know how the aloo bhujiya was?
