Shukto Mishmash of vegetables
Shukto is a mishmash of different vegetables often cooked in Bengali household. Bori or dried lentil dumplings are added to this dish. You can prepare them at home or buy them from the stores. The star of the dish is bitter gourd. Other vegetables like drumstick, eggplant, plantain or raw banana, raw papaya preferably cut to the same size are added to the shukto. The golden rule that I have learnt from my mother is, you do not add turmeric and pepper to the shukto. Basically, it is a perfect dish for Indian summers. The spice that is used to prepare shukto is radhuni or wild celery. This is a unique spice used mostly in Bengali cuisine. As you smell radhuni you know that shukto is being cooked in the kitchen. However, if radhuni is not available methi/fenugreek seeds can be used instead.
