SUKTO - Bong Delicacy

Sukto / shukto is a popular vegetable medley prepared in a Bengali household. It consists an array of vegetables and "badi" or "bori" cooked with Bengali spices. In Bengali cuisine Sukto is a mild, sometimes bitter, milky curry that is eaten after shaak (greens) and before dal (lentils). This recipe I have learnt from my Mom and one of my Mother-in-laws favorite one  - so this is dedicated to both my mothers on MOTHER's Day. 

Using high quality ghee in your recipes takes it to another level and is also good for health. I have used @akshayakalpa organic cow ghee . Their organic ghee is free from antibiotics, growth hormones, and preservatives to ensure the highest quality. The ghee tastes just like homemade ghee. Do check out their page for organic products.

👉Potatoes
👉Drumstick
👉Raw Papaya
👉Eggplant / Brinjal 
👉Bori
👉Green Chili
👉Bayleaf / Tejpata
👉Panch Phoron
👉Dry red chilli
👉Radhuni / wild celery 
👉Posto & Mustard paste,
👉Ginger
👉Salt
👉Turmeric powder
👉Milk
👉Ghee from @akshayakalpa to cook

Process:

👉Dry roast Radhuni / wild celery and make a fine powder. Keep aside.
👉 Wash and cut all the vegetables.
👉Soak Mustard seeds and posto in water for 10 minutes and make a smooth paste.
👉In a frying pan, add ghee and fry bori till lightly brown, keep aside. In the same pan fry brinjal and bitter gourd separately and keep aside.
👉Add little more ghee in the pan and add panch phoron, red dry chilli and green chillies, saute for few seconds and add all the raw vegetables 
👉Add turmeric powder and salt as per taste, mix well. Cover and cook till the veggies are half done. Now add the fried veggies and bori along with posto paste, ginger paste and radhuni powder. Mix well and add milk. Cook till all the veggies are tender and combined well with the spices.
