Mokimo/mashed potatoes

Potato can be cooked in multiple ways, be it be a Indian preparation or a continental dish. When you don't have enough time to cook something with lots of variations let it be simple with some small innovations. This preparation is widely consumed in day-to-day meals with any kind of pulses and is commonly known as "aalu'r chokha" in Bengali.

It's thanksgiving this week in the States ... a holiday that is not celebrated here in New Zealand. But since I spent almost 7 years of my life living there, every year I have friends over for a thanksgiving meal. This year instead of the turkey, it was fried chicken as the 12 guests preferred that over chicken. I made about 5 thanksgiving sides, one of them was this delicious and creamy Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes.I was so impressed by the way it turned out. I am in love with Red potatoes ... they definitely have a different flavor than regular potatoes ... Enjoy this super easy and delicious recipe! I hope you get to make it this festive season...

#Dec #w1 - This is a yummy mashed potato curry that Bengalis usually have with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with the rice-dal combination. You can also have it with parathas. So here is my version of this simple dish. When time is short, this is the best and the easiest comfort food one can have. It can also be served as a spread on chapattis or rolled like a Frankie for a snack on the go.

The most commonplace yet delectable enough & seemingly easy but in actuality, it’s not so simple to get to its immensely creamy textured looks & tastes both..What we usually prepare is the gritty version of it in our daily grinds but reaching to this texture- it really takes immense patience, perseverance & tenacity#givingtuesdays#givingbacktocommunity#WK4#Potato

#js #pp - This is a yummy mashed potato curry which Bengalis usually have with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with rice-dal combination. You can also have it with parathas. So here is my version of this simple and easy to prepare dish. When time is a restraint, this is the best and the easiest comfort food one can have. You may drizzle some raw mustard oil or kasundi to the end product for added flavour. It can also be served as a spread on chapattis / toast or rolled like a Frankie for a snack on the go.

Simple brunch #bandhan and to celebrate Indian Freedom day with 3 colors of Indian flag.

#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).

#Rainbowweek3 - This is the best comfort food that any Bengali will vouch for. When time is a constraint or laziness overpowers us, this quick and simple meal is so heavenly and satisfying. Having it with either mustard oil or ghee, both tastes simply yummy. The name Aloo Bhate is derived from the fact that the aloo was boiled along with the rice (Bhaat). Traditionally, only salt, green chilies and mustard oil are added to the mashed potato. So adding any other ingredients is purely optional. It can be relished with plain steamed rice or as a side dish with dal-chawal (lentil & rice). For more variations, it can also be served as a spread on toasted bread or parathas. In the case of the latter, it can simply be rolled and had as a lunch box meal. (Boiled eggs or boiled lentils can also be substituted). Hence perfect for young and old alike.
