One of the popular winter recipes for bengali food, this Palong shaker Ghonto 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.
Cut the vegetables in 3 inches length and around 1 inch thickness. Roughly chop the Spinach leaves and its stalks.
Take the pressure cooker and heat some oil in it.
Temper it with dry Bay leaf, cumin seeds and Urad Dal. Allow the cumin seeds to splatter.
Now, add the veggies and give it a stir.
Season with salt and sugar.
Close the lid of the cooker and allow it to whistle once on high flame, then turn off the heat.
Once the cooker cools down, open the lid. If there is excess liquid, turn the gas on and stir till the liquid evaporates.
Before serving drizzle some ghee or clarified butter on the top.
