About Aalu and tomato chokha

Aalu and Tomato Chokha is a flavorful dish from the Indian state of Bihar, rooted in traditional Bihari cuisine. This savory mash combines boiled potatoes (aalu) and roasted tomatoes with mustard oil, onions, garlic, green chilies, fresh coriander, and a pinch of salt for a smoky, tangy, and mildly spicy flavor. Its simplicity highlights natural ingredients and earthy flavors. Rich in potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin C from potatoes and tomatoes, this dish supports digestion and immune health. The use of mustard oil, known for its omega-3 fatty acids, adds a heart-healthy component. However, its calorie count should be monitored if consumed in larger quantities, especially for those watching their oil intake. The absence of heavy creams or excessive spices makes it a light yet nourishing option, often served alongside roti, rice, or litti for a balanced meal.
