"Bharta" (Bur-tuh), however it might be transliterated from Bengali script, almost always refers to some sort of "mashed" Bangladeshi dish. At restaurants they are generally prepared in advance, displayed behind glass, and doled out in small portions; the flavors are potent.
At this street cart, the name is "vorta." Fuska House offers three varieties, made to order, featuring mango, peara (that is, guava), or a mix of the two, shown here. For these raw-fruit vortas, no mashing is involved — just slicing, seasoning, serving, and ultimately finger-licking.
