Palong Shaker Ghonto | পালং শাকের ঘন্ট

This Palong Shaker Ghonto is one of the most popular and best Bengali vegetarian dishes for winter. It is a mix vegetable recipe using season's fresh Spinach (Palong shak), Aubergines (Begun), Radish (Mulo) and Potato (Alu). Some prefer using Sweet Potato instead of Potato, however, I have used regular potatoes here.
