Making potato masala for puri is routine, but at times, I crave for tangy gravy. Mostly chana masala will be my choice if I plan prior. This rasawala aloo is a great quick fix for poori.
I make a no onion no garlic aloo bhaji with methi flavour as we temper with methi seeds. This one is totally different flavour from my other aloo bhaji.
