Comfort Aloo Bhorta and Daal Bhorta

#QR A typical category of Bengali dishes involve boiling/steaming vegetables, leafy greens, and even certain kinds of fish, and then mashing them by hand with some sharp flavours derived perhaps from onions, garlic and chillies. This category is called the ‘bhorta’, and is admittedly more popular within the Bangladeshi branches of Bengali cooking than it is within the West Bengal ones. Aloo Bhorta is simple mash of potatoes, onions, garlic, and chillies and easiest and tastiest side dish served with rice for lunch. Masoor daal Bhorta is prepared by combining boiled Masoor dal (Red Lentils) with raw Onions, green Chillies and Mustard oil.
