Ingredients
2–3 medium boiled potatoes, peeled
1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
½ tsp grated garlic (optional but traditional in Odia style)
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1–2 tbsp mustard oil (raw)
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander (optional)
Instructions
Mash It Your Way
Mash boiled potatoes in a bowl — by hand for authenticity.
Add chopped green chilies, garlic (if using), onion, and salt.
Add the Mustard Kick
Drizzle mustard oil generously. Mix well until everything blends into a smooth, spicy mash.
Serve with Heart
Best served with Pakhala Bhata, dal-chawal, or even plain roti.
Top with coriander if you like a fresh finish.
