aloo choka

Aloo Choka or potato Choka is a Caribbean style spicy, mashed potatoes. Again, this has its Indian origins but has a unique twist with local Trinidadian influence. This classic North American mashed potatoes gets a nice, spicy and garlicky flavor. If you’re unaware of this dish, here is my instant pot Aloo Choka made Trinidadian style.

Aloo Choka {Trinidad Potato Choka}

potatoes

olive oil oil

onion

salt

garlic (finely minced or grated)

green hot pepper (Serrano

sliced garlic to temper

cayenne pepper

Peel, wash and slit all potatoes and place them on the steam rack inside the instant pot inner pot. Pour two cups of water inside the instant pot, and place the rack and potatoes on them.

Close the lid and seal the vent. Set the instant pot to a pressure cooking mode, and set the timer for 7-minutes. Once the instant pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally (10-12 minutes).

Remove the potatoes from the instant pot, and let them cool down. Peel and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

Season with salt, hot pepper, and grated fresh garlic. Mix well. (You can also make a paste out of pepper and garlic and mix it with potatoes)

Now heat the oil in a pan and let it smoke. Now add sliced garlic pieces and hot cayenne pepper, switch off the gas, and drizzle this oil over the mashed potato or aloo Choka.

Now garnish the potato with chopped red onions and cilantro, and serve with lime juice.

Enjoy with sada roti.
