Shukto probably is one of the key family recipes that get passed on from generation to generation.... so every home has a unique recipe of its own....Will definitely try this variation. For lazy Moms who want to cook traditional dishes for their family once in a while, ready made Shukto masala is available in Kolkata. It is good. You may like it as well. :)BongHomeChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709497824813140021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-42336537679493963712011-05-18T21:39:01.537-04:002011-05-18T21:39:01.537-04:00I just made your earlier version of Shukto yesterd...I just made your earlier version of Shukto yesterday and it turned out yummy. In Andhra we make dishes with mustard paste but that's only on rare occasions. So the shukto for us was a dish with explosion of mustard flavor--I personally loved it. <br />Also I wanted to thank you for all the Bengali dishes you have posted on your blog. I'm running a week long Bengali themed marathon and have been perusing your recipes a lot.
