Aloo Phulkopir Rasa – Rasa pronounce as “Raw-Sa“. It is a thicker, slightly spicier version of the famous Bengali vegetarian curry Aloo Phulkopir Dalna, which used to be a winter delicacy in Bengali kitchens. Aloo means Potato, and Phulkopi means cauliflower.
Rasa and Dalna are both no-onion, no-garlic curries.
Dalna is a thin, pourable mild gravy served with steamed rice, and Rosha is a semi-dry yet pourable curry served with fried rice, Pulao, Luchi, and Paratha. As the Indian Hindu festive season is approaching, this curry recipe is perfect for the festive season with minimal effort. It is a sattvic dish, with no onion and garlic added.

Minimum Ingredients, maximum Flavour!
Curries have a reputation for being difficult to make on weeknights. They are time-consuming, require a lot of prep work, and require a special trip to the local Indian store to track down spices if you don’t cook them frequently. They are also high in fat, so they are heavy on the stomach, and so on!
But this vegetarian curry is one of those dishes where you add minimum ingredients and get maximum flavour! You can make it any time of the week with minimal effort and not high in fat, as most popular Indian curries are known for.

Cook from scratch without going to a local Indian store for spices!
It is made from scratch with fewer spices. You don’t even need a trip to the supermarket if you use basic spices in your everyday cooking, such as whole and ground cumin, chilli powder, and turmeric powder.
Being a Bengali, cooking curry in Mustard oil is my obsession. I love the pungent flavour of mustard oil. But if you are not familiar with cooking with mustard oil, then don’t bother making a trip to the Indian store—make it with vegetable or canola oil! But make sure next time you visit your local Indian store, you try to make at least one small bottle of mustard oil for your Bengali-style cooking.
What particular dish goes with this curry, Aloo Phulkopir Rasa?
Aloo Phulkopir Rasa can be served with any flavoured rice, such as Jeera rice, Bagara Bhaat or Peas fried rice. Sometimes, I paired this with plain Roti.
