Potoler Rezala (Parwal / Pointed Gourd Curry)
#2020fav - This is a vegetarian version of the very popular Bengali / Bangladesh style Mutton / Chicken Rezala. So I made use of some Potol (Parwal / Pointed Gourd) to make this yummy dish. The spices remain very much the same. This recipe calls for a gravy with a slightly thicker consistency.
