Mirchi Bajji

Mirchi Bajji is one of the most popular Indian street food. Those Street food items are always tempting. Bangalore's chill weather reminded me of this and it was a perfect dish with a cup of hot tea on a Sunday evening. I always have to prepare Aloo Bajji's( Potato Fritters) for my son whenever I decide to make this. 

Here's the recipe for Mirchi Bajji's
