Mouri potol is a classic vegetarian dish from Bengal that features the humble pointed gourd (potol) cooked in fragrant gravy made with fennel, ginger, yoghurt and aromatic Indian spices. This dish is not only light and aromatic but also has a lovely sweet-spicy flavour that goes wonderfully with steamed rice or luchi. It's perfect for a cosy lunch or a festive meal, bringing out the authentic essence of Bengali home cooking.
