About Aloo ka chokha

Aloo Ka Chokha is a flavorful mashed potato dish originating from the Indian state of Bihar. This traditional recipe combines boiled potatoes with earthy spices like cumin, mustard oil, green chilies, and fresh coriander, alongside onions for added texture and tang. The dish is often paired with Litti, a stuffed whole wheat dough, as part of Bihar's iconic cuisine. Aloo Ka Chokha is relatively simple to make and packed with plant-based ingredients. Potatoes provide a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and energy-boosting carbohydrates, while mustard oil adds heart-healthy unsaturated fats. The spices and herbs contribute antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its calorie count can increase depending on the amount of oil used, and mustard oil may not be suitable for individuals with certain sensitivities. Enjoyed in moderation, Aloo Ka Chokha is both wholesome and comforting while serving as a great vegetarian option in Indian meals.
