Sukhi Bhaji is a traditional dry potato dish popular in the state of Gujarat. This particular recipe uses ground peanuts and sesame seeds for a unique taste and wonderful texture.
Ingredients:
Potatoes – 3 large (boiled and peeled)
Salt – to taste
Lime Juice – 1 tsp (or to taste)
Oil – 2 tbsp
Mustard Seeds – ½ tsp
Cumin Seeds – ½ tsp
Asofoetida (Hing) – pinch
Peanuts – ½ cup, coarsely ground
Sesame Seeds – 1 tbsp
Turmeric – 1/2 tsp
Green Chili – 1 to 2 (to taste), finely chopped
Curry Leaves – 1 sprig
Cilantro Leaves– 5 sprigs, chopped for garnishing
Method:
- Cut boiled Potatoes into bite size cubes and keep in mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle Salt and Lime Juice on the Potatoes and gently mix.
- Heat Oil in a medium non-stick pan.
- Add Mustard Seeds and Cumin Seeds and allow them to sputter.
- Add Asofoetida, Peanuts and Sesame Seeds.
- Once Sesame Seeds start to pop, add Turmeric, Green Chili and Curry Leaves.
- Add Potatoes and gently mix until Potatoes are evenly coated with the oil.
- Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Garnish with chopped Cilantro Leaves.
Tips:
- If you have the time, allow boiled potatoes to cool completely before cutting them. This prevents the potatoes from breaking apart and getting mushy when you stir them.
- This subzi is usually eaten with poori or puri, an unleavened fried Indian bread, but also tastes great with chapattis.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
is it possible to make this dish in advance and then reheat it just before serving?
Hi Reni,
Yes, you can 🙂
Hi there. I’m a member of Iskcon and I’m not supposed to go through your page since some of the recipes are non-vegetarian and others use onion and garlic. But I do go through some of the recipes which are free from the things I mentioned above. I do like the ones allowed to me. This sukhi potato sabji for example is perfect for me. I was wondering if you would have a separate page for vegetarians. That would help greatly. I could share it too, but as things are right now, I can’t. Don’t want to upset some of my folks. Thank you. Good luck.
Hi Harish,
Thank you so much for your support of SMTC. We try to keep the non-vegetarian food all together in one tabbed section at the top but we are unable to break it further by onion/garlic. We just don’t have the real estate on the front page. We hope you understand.
please make it Blue back ground
please change ORANGE color back ground

Hi Krish,
All pressure cookers are a little different from each other. Usually, one whistle will do the trick if you are using a pressure pan. In some of the larger cookers, one whistle is enough but you may have to remove the pressure by pouring cold water over the lid after about 5 minutes.
Hi, I had a question, If I boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker, how many whistles do I need to sound before knowing it is done?
Sesame Seeds are also known as Til.
