FoodLovers presents Jhinger Khosa Bata as its dry Bengali ridge-gourd-skin preparation served with rice. This selected version blends the skins with garlic and green chilli before cooking the paste.
Ridge-gourd skins, garlic cloves and green chillies go into a blender with water, including more water if needed, to make a smooth paste.
Mustard oil heats in a separate pan and is tempered with nigella seeds. Once their flavour releases, the same blended paste is poured into the pan.
Salt, sugar and turmeric powder are added, and the paste cooks over a lower flame until semi-dry.
The creator serves this preparation with warm boiled rice. That prepared rice is the selected accompaniment.
