The snack tastes and feels different with every ingredient. And there is hardly any vegetable, pulse, grain or ingredient that doesn’t go well as a bhajji.

Making it’s way into this flavorsome bhajji-sphere is hurda. Hurda is also popularly known as jowar or sorghum. The grains are widely consumed in India as ground flour.
