Bhajji

It was my evening stroll and I was walking in the market road...The fresh leafy veggies and fruits were so soothing to my eyes...Greens were so fresh and I got one bunch :) While I was glancing on the veggies "Bhajji molaga" caught my eyes...One part of me said "get it" while the other said "don't get it" and finally I decided not to get it and came to home. That evening my hubby asked me for bhajji...sigh! Scanned through the available veggies at home and managed to have Brinjal,Potato and onion.decided to make bhajji with the above veggies.It is one sooper cool evening snack.What else you need in your life when you have bhajji on your plate accompanied by aromatic chai and a nice movie on the tv...pure bliss I would say.
