The Perfect Spicy Alur Tarkari for Kochuri—Spicy Bengali Potato Curry
Description :
This spicy kochuri’r alu’r tarkari (as our friends will testify) is our secret recipe that we have guarded with our life for eight years. We arrived at it through various permutations and combinations in 2010, and since then have been making this at every luchi-aloo torkari party for loved ones. After two years of running this channel, we are finally revealing this to our viewers with a mixture of reluctance and joy. Please use this recipe responsibly.
Of course this alur tarkari is not our invention. However, there are no real recipes that we have found anywhere on the internet or in recipe books.
It is the quintessential mishtir dokaner alu’r torkari that is made in sweet shops, as well as Bihari Kochuri shops in Bengal, and served with either hinger kochuri, or luchi, or puri along with a lonka’r achaar (green chilli pickle) and a sweet chutney. Every shop makes it a little differently, but the basics are the same.
Growing up, my favourite kochuri shop was this trio of shops in Sealdah market called Shuruchi, Mukhoruchi and Abhiruchi. Thousands of people everyday consumed huge wicker baskets full of hot hing kochuri served in shaal patar’r thonga (cones made from dried shaal leaves), topped with a ladle full of steaming hot spicy alu’r torkari. Another firm favourite is Maharani (actually Maharaja, but everyone we know calls it Maharani even though there is a shop actually called Maharani just down the road) on Lansdowne. If you go early in the morning you will find morning walkers gorging on kochuri alur torkari, followed by hot sweet pantua or jilipi and finally a big earthen cup of tea.

Can we skip the hing spice in this alu-curry.
Amazing video
Bengali cuisine er Wikipedia apnar channel. Thank you. God bless.
My favorite channel in YT 🙂
Lovely recipe. Only one thing I don't agree with or like. Keeping the potato unpeeled. Brings back memories of hostel food. Where every tarkari was aloo something. The pieces were humonhous and had peel, either overcooked to a unsightly mush or undercooked to rock proportions.

It's Fabulous
Hi Bong Eats! Like other thousands of fans of your videos, I am too one of them. Your videos are done with precision, recipes shown with perfection, authenticity; moreover, no unnecessary bokorbokor commentaries on recipes! Kintu tobu shorbokkhon mone hoy, keno na apnara shomosto upokoroner porimangulo, gram gram kore dyen? Apnader videos gulo aboshyo i protyek ta notun, unexperienced ginni ra ba chhele-meyeder kachhe ekta upojukto reference guide. Kintu kon ginni ra dhoka r dalna athoba koraishutir kochuri banate giye "weighing scale ebon measuring cylinder" niye rannay egoben? Porimangulo darkar je khub saral-shahoj thakbe. Apnar video creation surely not meant for professional chefs? Ta i toh? Please make this obvious change in presenting proportions of all ingredients, in terms of cups, tbsp, tsp like simple measures. And let your favorite "grams" also be there into brackets for reference. Ek ti shamanyo poriborton apnar videos er fan club ta aboshyo i dwigun kore felbe! Sposhto kothay react korechhi, kintu I am too an admirer of Bong Eats, thats for sure!
