- 2 pcs Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into halves.
Boil the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover them, until they are fully cooked and soft. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the boiled potatoes and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves.
In a mixing bowl, add the boiled potatoes and mash them thoroughly until smooth.
Heat the mustard oil in a pan until it is hot, but not smoking.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the hot mustard oil, and sauté them until the onions are translucent.
Add the turmeric powder and stir for about 30 seconds, allowing the spice to bloom.
Pour the mustard oil mixture along with the cooked onions and chilies into the mashed potatoes.
Add salt and chopped coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes.
Mix everything well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated into the mashed potatoes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or mustard oil for flavor as preferred.
Serve the aloo bhorta warm with steamed rice or as a side dish.
