Notes from Rouba
Bharat is also a 7-spice blend. You can find it at Middle Eastern grocery stores and various supermarkets. Otherwise, you can substitute with 5-spice or allspice.
Which variety of potatoes to use: for mash, Dutch cream is a great option and Sebago is an excellent all-rounder. Know your potato guide.
