About Alu Bhorta

Lail Hossain presents alu bhorta as a familiar Bangladeshi potato preparation served with rice. Her version keeps the mustard oil, garlic and chilli that she identifies with this style of bhorta.

Roasted garlic and red chillies bring aromatic heat to the potato. Mustard oil adds its distinctive pungency, with salt completing the seasoning.

The potato is smoothly mashed, contrasting with thin slices of raw onion. The onion gives the finished mixture a fresh crunch beside the smooth potato and assertive oil dressing.
