Potato Bhaji

When I was a kid, I used to travel to Mangalore with family and our bus used to stop at kamat restaurants for Breakfast. And the only dish i used eat everytime was Poori Bhaji. Simple deep fried pooris eaten with simple mashed Potato bhaji. A very simple affair but very filling and delicious.

All you need :

4-5 boiled and mashed Potatoes.

Jeera 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
Haldi 1 tsp

Onion 1 cup finely chopped
Salt and sugar to taste
