Aalu Shev Bhujiya

The Aalu Shev Bhujiya (commonly spelled Aloo Bhujia) by Amnaya Agro Foods is a hugely popular, crispy potato-and-gram-flour noodle snack. It is a staple Indian savory mix (Namkeen) known for its tangy, spicy flavor profile.

Flavor Profile & Texture

  • The Taste: A vibrant blend of spicy, tangy (chatpata), and salty notes. It relies heavily on dry mango powder (amchur) and mint for its signature refreshing, zesty kick.
  • The Texture: Highly crisp, very thin, and short noodle strands. It is processed to offer a light, melt-in-the-mouth texture rather than a hard crunch.

Ingredients Checklist

This multi-ingredient blend generally consists of:

  • Base Solids: Dehydrated potato flakes (aloo), gram flour (besan), and moth bean flour.
  • Frying Medium: Refined edible vegetable oils (palmolein or cottonseed oil).
  • Spices & Seasoning: Iodized salt, red chili powder, dry mango powder (amchur), black salt, cumin powder, ginger powder, black pepper, nutmeg, and mint powder.
  • Dietary Markers: Features the green dot symbol indicating a 100% Vegetarian product.
