About

Aloo bhaji and freshly fried puri is a classic breakfast combination. The potatoes are spicy without being hot, so they make a perfect brunch, followed by steaming cups of spiced tea. This dish is really versatile and you’ll often find it in the unassuming Bangladeshi cafés of Brick Lane, as it’s a staple in the Bangladeshi community no matter the time of day.
