    Dudh Shukto or bitter sweet vegetable stew cooked with milk is a bengali cuisine loaded with vegetables and minimal spices. The bitter gourd is a mandatory veggie that is needed for this recipe. You can use any vegetables but must include bitter gourd . However tomatoes, cauliflower and cabbage are excluded. An interesting fact is my mother never used to serve shukto in dinner. According to her, it should only be eaten in lunch. Shukto can be prepared in varied style like you can use milk and spices like radhuni masala or wild celery to flavor the curry. This type of preparation is done by the Bangals . Another style is using mustard seed and poppy seed paste along with milk . This type of preparation is done by the Ghotis. In this , I bring you the Bangal style. A statutory warning is this curry is bitter sweet , but it is healthy and nutritional
