BATATA RASSA BHAJI

This is traditional Batata rassa bhaji recipe. The spices merge very well with the potatoes and make it flavourful. You can also add some other veggies to it like peas, cauliflower, but on festivals I used to make the batata bhaji like this simply with potatoes. I already shared the batata rassa bhaji which is only with red chilli powder and not with kala masasla. Hope you like this recipe.
