This is how it was called by my grand-mother. No, there is no bitter gourd or plantain in this shukto. Shukto is a traditional Bengali dish which is bitter in taste due to bitter gourd added. This is made with bottle gourd or lauki and tastes fantastic. I have used radhuni/wild celery for the flavoring. This is a spice unique in Bengali cuisine. However, if not available methi seeds can be used.

Steps

30 mins
  1. 1

    Soak both kinds of mustard seeds in water.

  2. 2

    Take a pan. To the pan add ½ tablespoon of oil.

  3. 3

    Once the oil is hot add the radhuni/methi seeds. As the seeds start spluttering add the chopped bottle gourd cubes.

  4. 4

    Grind the soaked mustard seeds with some salt. (Blend the mustard seeds with little salt and leave it for some time. Salt removes the bitterness of mustard seeds)

  5. 5

    Add salt according to taste. Remember you also have some added salt to the mustard.

  6. 6

    Cover and keep cooking the bottle gourd till it becomes mushy.

  7. 7

    Now add the mustard paste and a pinch of turmeric and cook until most of the water dries up.

  8. 8

    Serve with rice
