Aluchi Bhaji is a Maharashtrian curry made using nutritious Colocasia (Aloo,Arbi) leaves. This lip smacking, sweet-sour, no onion-garlic curry is a part of many festive fares across the state. The curry is pretty simple to make, the only precaution you need to take is while buying the leaves. The leaves may sometimes cause itching to the hands or throat. As far as possible buy the leaves from a known/reputed seller or you can easily grow your own leaves.

Serve Aluchi Bhaji along with Phulka, Matki Chi Usal and Kanda Kairichi Chutney for a delicious sunday lunch.
