Bethica DasDoi Potol (Parwal in Yoghurt Gravy)
#summerfood - This winter vegetable dish is a traditional Bengali recipe of Parwal / Pointed Gourd in a thick yoghurt based gravy. It is cooked in mustard oil for an authentic taste and flavour. Potol lovers like me will surely love this dish. It is my favourite veggie and I wait eagerly for the summer to relish it in many ways that I can think of. Very delicious, they can be enjoyed either with rice or chapatis. I personally prefer having it with plain steamed rice.
