Aloo Ka Bhujiya /Potato Stir-Fry

A common delicacy in most North Indian homes and one of my personal favourite. I remember most of the times, Mummi/Naani/Maami/Maasii would have packed Aloo ka Bhujiya with pooris and achaar/pickle during my train travels.

I am a software engineer by profession. I love cooking, trying out new recipes, travelling and finding out new eatery places. I never had this passion for cooking until 4 years back when I started cooking just to have home-cooked food and try to avoid eating outside on daily basis. Since then, I realised I love cooking and it’s kind of a stress buster to me. I like trying out new recipes and try to cook them.
