ABOUT Chingri Maach diye Kumro Shaag Er Chorchori - Bengali Style RECIPE

This is a traditional Bengali curry made with pumpkin leaves and few tender twigs. A whole lot of mixed veggies and some prawns are thrown in to make this simple and delicious recipe. It is cooked in mustard oil for an authentic touch and flavour. I added some ghee to the end product to make it more flavourful. You may omit the prawns and use vadi (dried lentil dumplings) for the vegetarian version. This yummy side dish is best enjoyed with plain steamed rice.
