Bangaladumpa Vepudu

🇮🇳 Indian

Golden Telugu potato fry dusted with chaat masala, the rice-pairing king. The kind of homely bhaji that disappears fastest off the thali. Best mopped up with hot chapatis straight off the flame.

Chef's tip

If the sabzi tastes flat, it usually wants salt and lemon, not more chili.
