Aloo (Potato) Bhaji or Subji is one of the most common side dish prepared at most of the Indian home and Indian restaurants. Aloo bhaji goes well with Poori, Chapati, Roti, Rice, Dosa and also stuffing in rolls, puffs or over bread as a spread - very versatile. The main two ingredients are Potato and Onion, which can be stocked up at home without it going bad. I have never seen a child making a fuss to eat Aloo bhaji, so mom's always comes up with ideas to sneak in other veggies into it. Everyone has there own version of this recipe with slight variations here and there. In south Indian version, lentils are used in seasoning. Some people add tomatoes as well. In the end, quick and easy to make and it tastes good.
