I am here with a recipe for Aloo Bhorta for this month’s Muslim Food Bloggers Challenge with the theme of ‘Bangladeshi Cuisine’. I really had no idea of the recipe I wanted to prepare, as we rarely think of going out of the way and preparing a dish that we have not even tasted much. Before selecting any recipe for my blog, I always keep my readers in mind who expect an easy recipe with all the ingredients that are easily accessible. I scanned through a number of recipes and then stumbled upon Aloo Bhorta which is known to be Bangladeshi comfort food.
