Aloo Bharta or Mashed Potatoes Indian style with Mustard oil and simple spices. It's a great accompaniment at mealtimes. And is a perfect side dish that goes well with simple Dal Chawal or Lentil Curry and steamed Rice, Khichdi, Rotis, Phulkas, Parathas and Pooris.
All in all a great option for everyday meals.

It can be a perfect choice for Lunchbox ideas too. Frankies, Wraps and Rolls also get amazingly delicious with this Aloo Bharta. It can be a great filling or a stuffing as well. Sandwiches also taste super tempting and yummy with this beautiful mashed Potatoes or Aloo Bharta. I did it in two ways actually, one with just Potatoes and the other one with both Potatoes and roasted Tomatoes. Both the ways it tasted yum. And both were super delicious with a steaming hot plate of simple boiled Rice and Ghee or Clarified Butter. My family thoroughly enjoyed it for Sunday Lunch.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
