ABOUT Kolmi Shaag Bhaja RECIPE

This is my version of Kolmi Shaag (water spinach) cooked in a traditional homemade Bengali style. It can be cooked with eggplants or potatoes, but here I cooked with boiled & cubed raw banana. I also added fried and roughly crushed bori / vadi to the end product for some crunch. It is best had with some plain steamed rice and a tsp. of ghee makes it more delicious. It can also be had with phulkas.
