Here I am at my father’s place and enjoying all kinds of Bengali dishes cooked by mom. She is preparing all kinds of dishes that I love. Tonight was as usual one of my favorite platters at the dinner table. It’s a mixed vegetable curry cooked in without any kind of spices and is a delight to have as a light dinner or as a breakfast side dish along with paratha or roti. So this one to all you people who loves to shed off that extra carbs.

Pumpkin (Kumro): 50gms
Radish (Mulo): 50gms
Potato (Aalu): 50gms

Green chilli (Kacha Lanka): 2 / 3 pieces
Mustard oil (Sarser tel): 2 teaspoons
Wild celery (Radhuni): 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves (Dhone pata): for garnishing
Preparation:
- Slice the vegetables in 2 inch small slices.

You can add other vegetables like beans, gourd, etc. Happy cooking and happy eating till next time.
Hi Sutapa,
I ameagar to know traditional bengali ‘rosona’. Your recipe works well, but you have not use any ‘ada bata’ or ‘bhaja masala’. Please let me know if they are they necessary.
Thanks

Hi, I have used wild celery (radhuni) for tempering, it is a very non-spicy dish, and so I don’t use any other spices, it reatins the smell and color of the vegetables.
Hi I just read your recipe , and I am kind of confused , because you have not used any tempering I mean like zeera or paanch phoron, so how will this taste?
