Bhajji pav, the westerner would never have imagined such an indian version of the sandwich! thinly-sliced potatoes are dipped in a besan batter and deep-fried. A stack of six to seven such crisp bhajjis are sandwiched in pav, to make a veritable feast! a good option for those who love street food but prefer to stay away from spices.
Ingredients

- ½ cup besan (Bengal gram flour)
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
