Bhajiya

The no-fuss indian snack, made with chopped onions, potatoes, spinach, cauliflower or any other vegetable you can find in your fridge. Traditionally bhajiya is made in India during the monsoon season on a rainy day when no one can go out to buy supplies. It is nearly always accompanied by a steaming cup of chai. Bhajiya is one my favorite dishes to make with my family!
