Summer is the time when we prefer light and simple meal. While we Bengalis always love maach bhaat in our lunch or dinner, and that, of course, goes to a jhaal jhol in the everyday meal, what if that everyday jhol turns out to be healthy and easily digestible in summers without getting too boring. One vegetable that we Bengalis often prepare during the summer is the Parwal. 'Niramish Aloo Potol' or Bengali Parwal Potato Curry is a purely vegetarian dish, cooked with minimal spices and veggies. #sofaridabad #vegrecipes #vegetarian #recipes #paromitasrecipes

Steps

35 minutes

1

Wash and peel off the skin of the parwal.
2

Chop veggies in large cubes.
3

Heat oil in a pan, slide in the parwal cubes and fry then till golden brown.
4

Remove the fried parwal, now fry the potato cubes in the same pan. Keep fried parwal and potato aside.
5

Add little amount of oil in the same pan (if required), add bay leaf and panch phoron.
6

Now add ginger paste and slit green chilli. Saute for 2 minutes.
7

Add turmeric, red mirchi, salt, and cumin powder. Saute until the spices mix with the oil (say for 2 minutes, add few drops water if needed here, however, I avoided adding to retain the flavour of the bhuna masala)
8

Now add the fried parwal and potatoes. Mix them well by stirring the total content.
9

Cover the pan with a lid and cook the vegetables.
10

After 10 minutes add 1/2 cup water and allow it to boil under the medium flame and cover the pan. Simmer for 5 more minutes and it's done.
