Bengali Phoolkopir Dalna

Just as some people can’t wait to get the latest iPhone, we Bengalis can’t resist grabbing the freshest seasonal fruits and veggies, turning them into something delicious, just like this Phoolkopir Dalna 😁

During Phookopi (cauliflower) season, this delicious dish becomes a star veg dish at most Bengali celebrations. Fresh cauliflower and potatoes simmered in spices make this dish so flavorful and comforting.

It's easy to make, and its warm cozy flavors, are just perfect to go with hot fulko luchi or some fragrant pulao.

So, if you’re inviting guests over this festive period, don’t forget to include Phoolkopir Dalna on your menu. It’s a dish that will bring everyone together. 💖
