Bhorta Platter
Bhorta is the cornerstone of Bangladeshi home cooking, a category of dishes where vegetables, fish, or lentils are mashed and mixed with mustard oil, onions, green chilies, and sometimes dried fish. A bhorta platter featuring multiple varieties is the heart of a traditional Bangladeshi meal. This recipe covers three classic bhortas: roasted eggplant (begun bhorta), tomato (tamatar bhorta), and spinach (palong shak bhorta).
