What comes to your mind when we say classic Indian breakfast? One of the first options we can think of is poori-bhaji. Crispy, flaky poori with spicy potato curry – the quintessential combination instantly touches the heart. While poori mainly remains the same everywhere, what mesmerizes us is the potato curry. Every region across India has its own unique way of preparing potato curry (or bhaji). While Bengalis keep it simple with a tadka of kalonji, the people of Banaras enjoy it with spicy gravy (aloo rasdar). Keeping its versatility in mind, we have compiled a list of hearty aloo curry recipes from across India that will add some twist to the evergreen breakfast combo (puri-bhaji). let’s take a look.
