In India, there are so many dishes made using this humble vegetable. Aloo is a part of the everyday menu in most Indian households. My mom made this aloo sabzi for our train journeys and on days when green vegetables were unavailable. It was also one of the very few dishes I learned to make from her when I was a kid. This aloo bhujia sabji is a potato dish widely prepared in Bihar and some parts of UP. It is actually called Bhunjia, not Bhujia. Bhunjna means to fry. This sabji is made by stir-frying potatoes cut into batons until they are cooked and slightly browned. Significantly fewer spices are added to make this sabji, and it is typically made in mustard oil, which gives it a very unique flavor. For a hearty meal, serve it with [poori](https://www.whiskaffair.com/poori/), [tawa paratha](https://www.whiskaffair.com/tawa-paratha-recipe/), or dal rice. ## Ingredients - **Potatoes (Aloo)** are the star ingredient in this recipe. Use any readily available variety. - **Spices** - You will need fenugreek seeds (methi dana), dried red chilies, turmeric powder, black pepper powder, and salt. - **Mustard Oil** - Traditionally used for its unique flavor. If mustard oil is unavailable, use any other cooking oil. - **Garlic** - It adds a great flavor. ## How To Make Aloo Bhujia Sabji **Step 1:** Peel 500g of potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick batons. Soak the potatoes in water until ready to use. This will prevent them from blackening due to oxidation. ![Potatoes cut into batons.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-1.jpg) **Step 2:** Heat 2 tablespoons of mustard oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds and 1-2 dried red chilies (broken into small pieces), then fry for 3-4 seconds. ![Fenugreek seeds and dry red chilies added to hot oil in a pan.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-2.jpg) **Step 3:** Add 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic and fry for 6-8 seconds. ![Garlic added to the pan.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-3.jpg) **Step 4:** Add potatoes and mix well. ![Potatoes added to the pan.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-4.jpg) **Step 5:** Now add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, then mix well. ![Salt turmeric powder and black pepper powder added to the pan.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-5.jpg) **Step 6:** Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook until the potatoes are cooked (5-6 minutes), stirring a few times. ![Pan covered with a lid.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-6.jpg) **Step 7:** Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the potatoes are slightly browned. Do not stir too much at this stage. We need the potatoes to have a nice browning. Serve hot. ![Ready aloo bhujia sabji.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aloo-Bhujia-Sabji-Step-7.jpg) ## Storage Suggestions This aloo bhujia can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours. You can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a pan or in the microwave until hot, then serve. ## Other North Indian Curry Recipes We Recommend [![A white bowl filled with gajar methi rests on a wooden tray next to a spoon and a checked cloth.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Gajar-Methi-2-3-600x800.jpg)](https://www.whiskaffair.com/gajar-methi-recipe/)Veg Curries VIndian Vegan ### Gajar Methi Recipe [![A white bowl filled with spicy Lauki ka Bharta, garnished with fresh cilantro and green chili, sits on a rustic burlap mat.
