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.
