TIPS to make perfect Aloo Bhujia Recipe:

• Once potatoes are boiled, either we can grate them or blend them in a mixer grinder to get a soft paste.
• We can substitute garam Masala powder with chat Masala or pav bhaji Masala. 
• Sometimes we may end up with aloo lumps if we grate so I made a smooth paste.
• If you want to experiment with the flavour of this recipe try adding ginger powder and onion powder.
• As sev is very thin and the batter has potato this must be deep-fried on low flame.
• Once the namkeen sev turns golden brown remove it from the oil or else it get burnt in no time.
• We may sprinkle spice powder over the aloo bhujia recipe immediately when removed from the oil.
• Sprinkling spice powder on sev, while the oil is hot, will stick and last for a long time.
• When making them in large quantities, store them in an air-tight container.
• While mixing all the ingredients if you feel the batter is hard we can add a little water with spoons or if the batter becomes loose then add chana dal flour to get a smooth batter.
• If the batter is hard, it becomes hard to squeeze the murukku mold whereas if it loses then it absorbs more oil.
• When we press sev directly in oil, we feel hot vapors of oil and if your skin is sensitive it may get burnt. Be careful in choosing the right murukku press.
