Shukto is a traditional Bengali cuisine and is considered as a delicacy. This is a mixed vegetable curry which has bitter gourd in it, but you can substitute it with few neem leaves. So this is the latter version. It is cooked in a mustard and milk based gravy. It is mildly spiced and is tempered with Panch Phoron, the popular Bengali five spice. It is served with hot steamed rice at the beginning of a full course meal, as it is believed that the bitterness helps in purifying the blood.
Nice one.
