Instructions

First, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Rinse the potato cubes under cold running water and then place them in a bowl filled with water to prevent them from turning dark.
Next, heat mustard oil in a deep pan. Once hot, add nigella seeds and asafoetida to the oil to temper it.
Now, add the potato cubes and begin frying them over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add salt and slit green chilies to the potatoes, continuing to stir.
Pour in 2 cups of water, enough to cover the potatoes.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat until all the water has evaporated.
Continue cooking until the potatoes are soft and slightly mashed.
Once they reach this consistency, add ghee and mix everything well.
Your aloo chorchori is now ready to serve! It pairs perfectly with your favorite bread, especially Bengali Luchi.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of crushed black pepper.
Some people also like to add a touch of sugar or turmeric powder to their Aloo Chorchori. Feel free to adjust the recipe to your personal preference!
Tomato is a good addition, if you are okay with the colour of tomato in your chorchori.
