Once again, a traditional Bengali dish, bati chorchori can be cooked over low heat with any vegetable of your choice and a handful of shrimps.

 

Ingredients

• Shrimp – 250 gms, cleaned
• Potato – 1
• Patol / Pointed Gourd – 3
• Pumpkin – 1 slice
• Brinjal – 1
• Tomato – 1
• Onion – 1
• Coriander Leaves – 1 handful
• Green Chilli – 3
• Salt and Turmeric – as required
• Sugar – 1 tsp
• Mustard oil – 3 tbsp.

Chop all the vegetables into cubes and mix together.

 

Add salt, turmeric, shrimps and mustard oil to the chopped vegetables and put everything into a deep kadai.

Add 2 cups of water and put the kadai over heat. Cover it with a heavy lid and let it simmer over very low heat. Continue cooking for 15 minutes or till the vegetables are done. Vegetables should be a bit overcooked to make the mixture gravy like. Once vegetables are cook add the sugar and mix well.

Once it is done, sprinkle chopped coriander leaves and a spoonful of mustard oil. Keep covered for 10 more minutes before serving. Serve with plain rice or roti.
