Sorse potol, parval sabji with mustard paste

July 19, 2018 By admin 1 Comment

The pointed gourd is a popular vegetable in India. Different people from different region use this vegetable to make different dishes across the country. Sorse potol is one of those traditional dishes. This parval sabji with mustard paste is a popular traditional dish in Bengal.

Sorse potol is the best to have with rice. Some people like to have this along with rice & lentils curry (plain dal curry). Most Bengali people love to have some fries, flitters along with dal curry & plain rice. So it brings a different taste to have this instead of any other plain fries (brinjal, potato etc) or flitters (daler bora, beguni, pakoda etc).

Though there are another special shorshe potol posto recipe in traditional Bengali food item. But that dish is based on posto (khuskhush or poppy seeds). That shorshe potol posto comes with thick gravy. There posto is used more as compared to shorshe.

But here in this sorse potol recipe, sorse is used more than posto. It is a dry side dish to have with plain rice & simple letil curry (dal). This item is my favorite and I used to eat this during summer days since my childhood.
