Assembling the Bharta:
- Pour the tempered spices from the ladle into the bowl of mashed potatoes.
- Roast the dry red chilly over a low flame until it becomes aromatic and slightly charred.
- Break the roasted chilly into small pieces and add it to the mashed potatoes.
- Season the mixture with salt according to your taste preferences.
- Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl along with a tablespoon of uncooked mustard oil.
- Tear the dhania patta (coriander leaves) into small pieces and add them to the mixture.
-
Mixing and Serving:
- Use a spoon or your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together, ensuring that there are no lumps of unmashed potato left behind.
- Serve the Aloo Ka Bharta hot alongside your favorite accompaniments such as daal-rice, khichdi, or stuffed inside flour dough to make delicious aaloo ka paratha.

Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of garam masala or amchur (dry mango powder) over the bharta before serving.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer dried red chillies according to your preference.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture in a food processor or use a potato masher for a creamier consistency.
- Ensure the potatoes are boiled until they are soft and easily mashable for the best results.
