About Chokha

Chokha is a flavorful dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian and Bangladeshi households. Typically made by roasting and mashing vegetables, common choices include eggplant, potatoes, or tomatoes, often blended with mustard oil, fresh coriander, garlic, chilies, and onions for a smoky, robust taste. This dish is traditionally paired with bread like roti or served alongside lentils and rice. Nutritiously, chokha is rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, depending on the vegetables used, making it a wholesome and satisfying choice. Mustard oil lends omega-3 fatty acids, although its high-fat content should be consumed in moderation. The spiciness can be adjusted to personal preference, but it’s worth noting that excessive chili may irritate sensitive stomachs. Chokha’s simple preparation and versatility make it an excellent addition to a balanced diet, especially for those seeking plant-based options.
