Aloo Bharta / Spicy Mashed Potato

-


Aloo Bharta is the side dish that goes well with khichdi, Dal-Chawal and even with hot roti if you are lazy enough to cook any curry. Easy and simple to prepare with one ingredient.

I used to eat it at breakfast with Dal with ghee and hot roti. It was my Grandpa's everyday breakfast at 7am. And whenever I have this dish combination I go nostalgic. And I love it.

Now let's look at the recipe:

1. Peeled potato - 2 big piece
2. Whole red chili - 2 piece
3. Whole Jeera - 1 Tbs
4. Mustard oil - 2 Tbs
5. Salt - As per taste

Recipe -
1. Pressure cook the potato and take it out in a bowl.
2. Mash this instantly with no lumps. You can use a fork if you do not have masher.
3. Take a Tadka pan and heat it. Add mustard oil and after it's hot enough, add Jeera and red chili and wait till it splutters.
4. Now transfer this tadka in a small bowl and add salt and mash it. Once it is nicely mashed, add it to mashed potato and mix well.

It's ready to serve with Dal-Chawal, Roti, Khichdi, etc.

Hope you will like this dish.

I will be back with another flavourful recipe very soon, till then

Bye-bye yummy mummies!!

Angoori rasmalai is an Indian  dessert  consumed mainly in  India , as well as in  Pakistan  and  Bangladesh .  Angoori derives its name from Angoor which is  Hindi  for grape, signifying the shape and form, and also alluding to its sweetness.  The name  ras malai  comes from two words in Hindi:  ras , meaning "juice", and  malai , meaning "cream".  The dessert is made from  cottage cheese  which is then soaked in  chashni , a sugary  syrup , and rolled in fine sugar to form grape-sized balls. Ras malai consists of sugary white cream, or yellow-coloured (flattened) balls of  chhana  soaked in  malai  ( clotted cream ) flavoured with  cardamom . It is cooked in  sugar  syrup and  milk  with  saffron ,  pistachios  and  kheer  as stuffing.
