Kumror Chenchki: Bengali Vegetarian Recipe
This Bengali vegetarian recipe can be described in one word- simple! Kumror chenchki literally translates to pumpkin dry curry. This authentic and delicious pumpkin curry is prepared using a unique blend of Indian spices, collectively known as 'panch phoron' or five spice mix. This five spice mix adds to the unique taste in the curry.
