Tips & Secrets
- The secret to a great bharta is using raw mustard oil; do not heat the oil as the raw pungency is essential for the taste.
- Roasting the bamboo over a wood fire if possible provides a more and deep smoky character.
- Ensure you squeeze out excess water from the boiled bamboo before roasting to keep the bharta thick.
