The origin of Poori Bhaji is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated in the northern and western parts of India, where it is still a popular breakfast dish.
Poori Bhaji is a popular Indian breakfast dish that consists of deep-fried bread called Poori and a potato-based curry known as Bhaji. Poori is a type of bread made from whole wheat flour that is rolled into small, flat circles and deep-fried until it puffs up. Bhaji is a curry made from boiled and mashed potatoes that are sauteed with onions, tomatoes, and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
