Potol-er Khosha Bata or a recipe made from the paste of pointed gourd's skin is one which is often made in our home kitchen when we want to make something economical as well as easy. We save the pointed gourd's ('potol') skin i.e. 'khosha' (in Bengali) and grind it into a fine paste and later fry it in oil patiently to make a simple recipe out of it. Sometimes we blanch the skin before grinding, sometimes we don't. In this recipe the skin is not blanched. However, in both cases, we have to cook it patiently as the water takes some time to dry up. The texture of the gourd's skin becomes smooth and the raw smell goes off as soon as the paste becomes dry due to continuous stirring.
Bangla Cooks brings you yet another simple and easy recipe which is a bit off-beat and yet tasty. Do try this with steamed rice. It tastes awesome!
