🇧🇩 Bangladesh recipe

Alu Bharta

Alu bharta is the most fundamental and beloved bhorta in Bangladesh, a rustic mash of boiled potatoes combined with raw onions, green chilies, mustard oil, and fresh coriander. Unlike Western mashed potatoes, alu bharta is assertive and pungent, with a sharp bite from the raw onion and a fiery kick from the chilies. It is comfort food in its purest form, eaten daily by millions of Bangladeshis.
