Aloo Chokha

Boiled potatoes smashed roughly with raw mustard oil, finely chopped raw onion, green chillies, and fresh coriander — no further cooking, just the heat of the boiled potato slightly wilting the onion. The rawness of the mustard oil dominates, giving the chokha its sharp, pungent edge. Eaten daily with dal and rice across eastern India's tribal and agrarian communities.
