delicious combination of favours
Height of deliciousness Vaishali! Your description of the dish and the pics are making me drool early in the morning! I am bookmarking the whole series and try it out. And I have tasted another chaat with these fryums, where they are stuffed with grated carrots, onions and spicy roasted peanuts.
Another new chaat recipe to me. I remember those rice pipes were quite popular in my school days and we use to call it as “Appala poo” in tamil. Garlic flavored potatoes with those rice pipes sounds delicious and the entire setup in the tray looks exactly like the tray from the street vendors,Vaishali 🙂
A very unique kind of street food. A great find, Vaishali. We make those bhungaras as you call them. We simply call them golden fingers. I am trying to imagine those golden fingers with spicy aloo. yumm…
Kone Kone se dhoondke u bring us these flavours 🙂 interesting dish with potatoes …and those fryums r super relish on their own !
Vaishali, you must know how glad I am that you took up this Indian street food theme. I know your passion for food, especially street and definitely shows in all your posts. Today’s dish is such an unique dish and I’m sure no one will ever know about it unless you visit the place, so thanks to you we get to enjoy this dish virtually and hopefully make it ourselves some time.
oh wow another interesting streetfood from you, Fryums stuffed with that flavorful potato curry.. Bhungara bateta look so delicious , The pic with you holding those bhungra bateta is such a tease, I would love to have a bite now.. Anything with garlic in it makes me drool more !! Fantastic recipe di 🙂
This garlicy potato mash on the side sounds like my husband’s kind of dish. 🙂
These bhungras are commonly available in south India and there is a different kind of chaat made with these in Bangalore.
We get Bhungra as kulal appalam and it is kid’s fav here. We used to insert one for each finger and loved to bite from them. This version of having the bhungra with spicy garlicky potatoes sounds so delicious..
Wow I remember I used to be so fond of those Bhungra as you call them. I don’t remember the name, other than calling it golden fingers or fries..what a fantastic chaat with these..! I am so loving the series and your pictures are so fantastic Vaishali..too good..can’t imagine how much time you took to make these and set up the whole stuff for clicking!
The name lahsooni is making me drool, Vaishali. I can finish this whole spread in no time . So tempting and I always wonder how unique your research and recipes are.
Never know with fryms and potato such a yummy street food is made.. I am going to learn so much from you in this entire Marathon!!
Very different and quite a unknown street food for me. And this Bhungara bateta is definitely unique dish i would definitely love to give a try soon. Real torture for me.
What a unique street food this is. Wish I am your travel buddy to taste all these amazing street foods. We really need a companion like to to even look for where and what to eat. Love the garlic loaded potatoes and I agree with you that it is so hard to get that balance of oil and heat at home.
Wow, this is simply delicious. I second Gayathri. I remember doing the same. Putting those on all the fingers, that too different colors and paal ice in the other and relishing them… Missing those summer fun. Stuffing these beauties with potatoes and condiments will definitely make this delicious. Food heaven I must say.
ha ha those bhungara’s we all have put it on our fingers and enjoyed and now my lil one loves it!! Those garlicky chilly potatoes look awesome vaishali!! Both together must be tasting amazing!!!!
Seriously Vaishali!!!! I’ve just had dinner and you’ve managed to make me drool and feel hungry again! What a beautiful description of how to enjoy the street food.
This is very interesting and unique dish for me.. never heard about this.
