About Alu bharta
Alu Bharta is a simple yet flavorful mashed potato dish from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in Bengali households. Made with boiled potatoes, mustard oil, green chilies, salt, and occasionally garnished with chopped onions or fresh coriander, it’s a quick and wholesome accompaniment to rice or flatbreads. This traditional recipe highlights bold flavors, with mustard oil adding a distinct tang and aroma. Alu Bharta is naturally low in fat compared to butter-laden mashed potatoes, and it provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy. However, its sodium content can vary depending on added salt, which may be noteworthy for those watching their intake. The addition of fresh chilies and coriander introduces antioxidant benefits. Alu Bharta is a delicious and comforting dish, celebrating simplicity while offering an authentic taste of Indian home cooking.
