About Alu chokha

Alu Chokha, originating from Indian cuisine, is a traditional mashed potato dish known for its vibrant flavors and simplicity. It typically includes boiled potatoes mashed with mustard oil, chopped onions, green chilies, fresh coriander, and a hint of turmeric and cumin for added depth. This dish is particularly popular in Bengali and Bihari households and serves as a flavorful side or accompaniment to rice and lentils. Nutritionally, Alu Chokha offers carbohydrates for energy from the potatoes and small amounts of dietary fiber. Ingredients like mustard oil and fresh coriander provide a boost of healthy fats and antioxidants. While generally wholesome, the use of oil and potatoes makes portions important for those monitoring calories. This dish exemplifies a humble yet delicious comfort food that highlights the natural goodness of fresh ingredients and the bold, aromatic spices of Indian cooking.
