Rajasthani
Marwadi Aloo Pyaz ki Sabzi (Potato–Onion bhaji)
- Duration: 30 minutes
- Serves: 2 to 4 people
Authenticity Slice
The cut potatoes should be bigger than usual and should be evenly chopped. So, cut the potato into a quarter of its size if it is medium or large sized. The saunf-dhania powder tastes best if crushed in a pestle-mortar rather than a grinder.
