Sliced aloo “chokha style” is a spin on Bihar’s aloo chokha, with the potatoes sliced instead of mashed. The trick to making this recipe is in boiling the potatoes just right: neither so soft that they give way when pressed, nor so firm that they need extended sautéing post-boiling to make them bite-friendly.
“Chokha”, in case you’re wondering, is not the Caucasian woollen coat as Wikipedia would have you believe. To know what the word means in the context of food, take a look at our parval chokha recipe.
