Uchche (উচ্ছে) Aloo Chorchori/ Karele ki Sabzi
If you are not a Bengali like me, probably you never heard of this term “Chorchori”. Chorchori is basically a vegetable dish from Bengal, made with variety of vegetables. This is a quick, light, less spicy and easy to make vegetable preparation and healthier too due to stir frying method. There is a wide variety of Chorchori exits in Bengal’s household. But today’s recipe is with bitter gourd/uchche generally known as “Teto Chorchori”. So let’s make it together J

Ingredients:
1 medium size bitter gourd/uchchhe/ Karela
2 small potatoes cut into small pieces
1 small aubergine/eggplant cut into small pieces
1 small onion finely sliced (you can omit it)
1 tsp. Panch foron/Bengali five spices
½ tsp. turmeric powder
½ tsp. red chili powder
Pinch of garam masala powder
1 tsp. sugar
Salt as per teste
Mustard oil




Method:
1. Spray some salt over bitter gourd pieces.
2. Fry them very well with some turmeric powder until they have some           brown spot. Keep it aside.
3. In the same pan, add some more mustard oil. Add panch foron or Bengali       spices. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
4. Add thinly sliced onion and fry them until translucent. Add remaining         turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt and sugar. Saute it for 1-2               minutes.
5. Add potatoes and eggplant pieces to the oil. Mix it. If you require some     water feel free to add some splash of water if it gets dry (but not to         much). It should be dry preparation.
6. Cover and cook until it becomes tender. Check in between and                  continuously stir fry it.
7. After 5-6 minutes add the fried bitter gourd and mix it properly.
8. Cover and cook until veggies are fully cooked. Finish of with garam     masala powder.

9. Our Uchchhe Aloo Chorchori/Karele ki sabzi is ready. Serve it with some      plain rice. Enjoy J
