Sookhi Moongfali Sabzi
Peanuts and potato dry-tossed with chaat-style spice, the fasting-day sabzi that eats like a snack. The kind of homely bhaji that disappears fastest off the thali. Best mopped up with hot chapatis straight off the flame.

Chef's tip
Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
