#js #pp - This is a best comfort food that any Bengali will vouch for. When time is a constraint, this quick and simple meal is very heavenly and satisfying. Traditionally, salt, onion, green chilies and mustard oil / ghee are added to the mashed potato. However, you can also add kasundi or toasted and crushed dry red chili as per your preference. The name Aloo Bhate is derived from the fact that the aloo / potato is boiled along with the rice (Bhaat). It goes well with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with dal-chawal (lentil & rice).
