ABOUT Shorshe Dharosh (Mustard Okra Stir Fry - Bengali Style) RECIPE

It is a traditional and an equally delicious Bengali dish of okra cooked with mustard-coconut-cashew nut paste. Very quick to prepare as okra takes very less time to cook. Great as a side dish with chapatti. The addition of mustard gives a punch to this dish and the coriander leaves gives an added flavour. A tbsp. of Poppy seeds paste can be substituted for cashew nuts for an entirely different experience. Enjoy this delectable side dish with either rice or chapatti.
