Aloo Matar Ka Bharta/Potato & Green Peas Mash

Aloo bharta is a North Indian side dish to enjoy with rotis or else with parathas. And this mashed potato and peas dish works awesome as spread to prepare your rolls or as sandwiches. Kids will definitely enjoy thoroughly this super delicious dish when served simply with some toasted bread slices. However this dish is very easy breezy dish to prepare with less efforts. If you are potato lover, trust me you will definitely enjoy this dish without any fuss.

Am running this week's blogging marathon with Dips,chutneys,Spreads as theme, though this mashed potato and green peas works awesome as curry for rotis, you can still have this bharta as spread on your bread or flatbread. Sounds almost like potato podimas an another version of mashed potatoes quite popular in South India, these North Indian style bharta tastes tremendously delicious especially when served with bread slices.
