A traditional bengali recipe Shukto
This bitter taste curry is a regional favorite of the people of Bengal, Orissa, and Assam taken generally as a starter item during the midday meal. From mythical Shiva (in the narrative poems of Annadamangal) requested Devi Annapurna to cook some dishes including “Shukuta” to the historical figure Shri Chaitanya, the medieval Bengali loved the Shukto.  In Shukto the bitterness is rarely allowed to overpower the other flavors like sharpness of mustard paste, poppy seeds, and slight bitterness of sesame seeds, and flavors of ghee too.

WHY DIGITIZE YOUR DOCUMENTS NOW!
The various documents that we accumulate throughout our lives are the most essential pieces of our trail that validate, us to our governments, as well as our credentials to potential suitors. Also equally important are our photo albums where we preserve the past. Misplacing or accidentally damaging these is not an impossible prospect and the subsequent efforts that are required to be made, to re-acquire those can easily multiply our hardships a few times. When Kailash, lost all his possessions in the 2018 floods, that wrecked lives of a million people in Kerala, India, he succumbed to the thoughts of a lifelong disaster although he had survived the rains. It can happen to anyone of us next,we don't want any other Kailash. This video will guide you on the credentials that you must digitize and where to keep it safe!

Sojne Phul Tarkari - Moringa Oleifera Flower CurrySojne Phul Tarkari - Moringa Oleifera Flower CurryIn our childhood days gatherings and preparing dishes from items of the wild or of the neighborhood garden was a regular day activity, which when defined is not so unsophisticated like nowadays. Now we prefer food found in the local market rather than grown or collected. I still remember during summer holidays how we quietly did shake the sojne trees and collect handful of flowers. Truly speaking for me growing veggies [without soil] in own kitchen garden is more interesting than snatching from other's. I have had a lifetime passion and patience for this.

Moringa Oleifera flower is slightly bitter in taste than its fruit. I generally cook any bitter dish with combination of sweet vegetables. This traditional recipe can be cooked both with brinjal or sweet pumpkin. I prefer pumpkin.
