Bengali style kochur loti recipe, The best taro stolon curry

May 2, 2019 By admin 1 Comment

Bengali people are very fond of kochu. They eat its leaves, stem, root, stolons everything. Not only that when somebody wants to say that a person does not know anything then he will say that person “Kochu jaane”. It means “he does not know anything”. Being a Bengali, I do not know how our most favorite vegetable becomes Nil or Nothing or Zero. It is really funny. I mean you like a vegetable but use that word to mean zero/nil. How? Okay, now coming to this Bengali style kochur loti recipe. Did you ever try this? I think if you are a Bengali then definitely ate it hundred of times. But if you are not Bengali then you hardly knew about this awesome food.

Now, what is kochur loti? Is it leaf? Is it stem? Is it root? Or what? Actually, what I understood about kochur loti, it is nothing but a stolon or runner or kind of stem what grows horizontally and at a certain point root will start growing from that stolon and new plant will grow gradually from there. So actually it is a reproductive system of kochu plant.

Mainly shola kachu or arum yam plant’s stolon are used as kochur loti. Being a Bengali we can make a delicious dish with those kochur loti and I believe from rich Bengali to poor Bengali, it favorite dish for everybody. If you make small sized prawn to this then it is just Yummmm Yummmm, haha. It is absolutely a traditional village style dish. Though it does not belong to an ‘elite class‘ Bengali dish but this vegetable is cooked at every Bengali’s kitchen.

    Thenks for your post, I’m wondering, here in Goa the people told me to harvest only those who have brown stem…
    But i see here you use those who are green, does it mean both are edible, another thing is i boiled it and ate it like that but it’s quite a bit hitchy in the mouth and throat, can you tell me how tl avoid that ?
