potatoes, besan, lemon juice, salt, chaat masala, asafoetida and garam
masala powder. Add little oil and knead into a pliable dough. AT this
moment, the mixture will be little sticky, but that’s okay.
Heat good amount of oil in a frying pan. Now carefully put the dough inside the murukku presser, and start squeezing in hot oil.

as it is done. The sizzle sound will subside once it is cooked and
little browned. Be careful not to get it too brown.

same process for the rest of the dough. Drain aloo bhujia on the paper
napkins and then quickly toss with fried cashew nuts and peanuts.
