Ingredients
- 6 Potato big size
- 4 Green Chili
- ½ teaspoon Kalojire/ Kalonji/ Nigella seed

- 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoon Mustard Oil
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
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.

- 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.
