The “summer spinach” that everyone loves, for her flavor and texture. In Bengali cuisine it is widely used both in a vegetable dish, cooked with red pumpkin, and in non-vegetarian dishes, cooked with the bones of the Ilish fish and may also be cooked with shrimps. This is the popular Bengali Pui Shaak er Chori Chori.
