Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

This Bengali dish is made of mixed vegetables. Best low-calorie recipe with a lot of nutritional benefits as it contains vegetables rich in vitamins & minerals. Poppy seed's addition makes this recipe rich not only in taste but also it is a good source of minerals like calcium & zinc.

INGREDIENTS:
  • Vegetables [Bitter gourd, White radish, Ridge gourd, Sweet potatoes, Broad beans, Drumsticks and brinjal] [cut into 1 inch pieces each]  - 100 g [I cup] 
  • Oil - ½ tsp
  • Poppy seeds [khuskhus/posto] - 1 tsp
  • Mustard seeds - ½ tsp

  • Panch phoran [jeera, mustard seed, methi seed, saunf, kalonji] - 1 tsp
  • Bay leaf - ½ no.
  • Salt - As per taste
  • Water - as required
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1 Wash and cut the bitter gourd into thin roundels.  Step 2 Heat ¼ tsp. oil in a pan and stir fry bitter gourd slices lightly. Keep aside. Make a thick paste of poppy seeds, mustard seeds, and ginger. Step 3 Heat the remaining oil in a kadhai. Add panch phoran and bay leaf. When the seeds start to crackle, add the chopped vegetables and stir lightly. Step 4 Add the ground spices and stir for five to seven minutes. Add a ½ cup of water and cover. Cook on medium heat stirring occasionally till vegetables are almost cooked. Step 5 Add the bitter gourd and salt. Cook for another two minutes till gravy is not too thick or too dry.

Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet potato is an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene) and also a good source of Vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Olive oil has multiple health benefits since it is rich in  linoleic acid [omega-6] and mono-unsaturated fatty acids [MUFA] that helps in lowering LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increases HDL or "good cholesterol" in the blood.
