A comforting Bengali curry that combines everyday vegetables with prawn sweetness for a balanced, aromatic meal. Potol (pointed gourd) and potato are lightly sautéed for depth, then simmered with cleaned prawns in a gentle onion‑tomato masala perfumed with ginger, green chilies, and whole spices. A drizzle of mustard oil and a pinch of Bengali garam masala lift the finish without making the gravy heavy. Crafted to be medium‑light and homely, it pairs best with steamed rice, but also goes well with soft rotis.
