Скачать или смотреть SHUKTO - MIXED VEGETABLES - PERFECT FOR SUMMERS - TRADITIONAL BENGALI RECIPE - MASTERCHEF OINDRILA

Think Bengali and you’ll probably think of Maach Bhaat and Rosogolla, right? 🐟

But Bengali cuisine is so much more than just fish and sweets 😛 We have an array of vegetarian dishes that are staples in our homes.

Introducing Shukto - the heart of a Bengali meal 🍲

A quintessentially Bengali lunch is beautifully layered, with Shukto as a key element. This dish is enjoyed midway, refreshing the palate before leading up to the final course of sweets or desserts.

Shukto offers a classic combination of vegetables with a perfectly balanced delicate bittersweet taste. The bitterness comes from bitter gourd, balanced with vegetables like squash, radishes, eggplant, and green bananas, drumsticks and more.

It’s not just delicious, but also a perfect summer dish that helps cool the body.

It truly tastes fabulous 😍 and is a must-try for any food lover.
