Potato Bajji

    Bajji can be had with puri, roti or rolled inside a dosa to make masala dosa.  Simply made and tasty to eat it's quite a versatile dish.  I always associate American mashed potato to our Indian bajji, and have served this to quite a few friends to receive positive raving reviews.  

   Wholesome potatoes paired with a distant  taste of ginger and thai green chilies.  You can do a whole lot with this basic recipe.  Like I mentioned, eat them with puri, dosa,or wrap them in egg roll sheets and deep fry to make samosa or dip in dosa batter and make bondas.  However, you choose to use it this recipe is worth knowing.  I hope you enjoy this recipe and the dish.
