    If you leave out the desi ghee, the aloo bharta tastes great and authentic.

    We are using deshi ghee here, further adding mustard oil will spoil the taste fully. Use mustrad oil or deshi ghee only and no mix up please. Tadka is optional.

    tastes better with one teaspoon mustard oil and no tadka
