Notes
This is the most original way of Bangladeshi alu bhorta.
Onion can be sautéed in a pan until translucent and golden, if you cannot stand raw potato. This gives a bit different but delicious alu bhorta as well.
Adjust chili and garlic according to taste.
You can also microwave the potato for 6-8 minutes instead of boiling.
