The use of mustard in many forms – as seeds, paste and oil too – is a classic characteristic of Bengali cooking. In this traditional Bengali -style subzi too, mustard paste is what gives the special flavour. Bati Chorchori, so full of veggies, is a delight to behold and consume. It is rich in fibre, due to the large variety of vegetables used, and also uses very less oil because the veggies are cooked in their own moisture. All this makes Bati Chorchori not just irresistibly tasty but healthy too.
