Puri bhaji (sometimes spelled poori bhaji) is a South Asian dish made up of puri and aloo (potato) bhajji. The Puris are made up of flat rounds of flour which are deep fried, served with a spiced potato dish which could be dry or curried. It is a traditional breakfast dish in North India. A lot of Indian households prefer puri bhaji and other traditional dishes over cereals for breakfast. Some serve it for lunch along with condiments such as yogurt and salad. In central India, puri bhaji is served as a street snack. Puri bhaji is a vegetarian dish and is popular in India because it is relatively inexpensive and tasty. The dish is also served on railway platforms in India and Pakistan and is served as a packed lunch on trains along with pickle. The Puri bhajji are also served with halva.
