    Lau Shaker Chorchori is a Bengali Vegetarian and Vegan Mishmash prepared with Bottle Gourd Greens and other veggies. This is a Bengali vegan recipe!

    Our taste in food changes over the period at least that is what happened to me! I do not remember liking the greens while growing up. However, now I prefer having those and that too willingly.  Chorchori, Labra, Chyanchra, etc (basically Bengali mishmashes) had never been part of my preferred list but now I love eating those. One such dish is Lau Shaker Chorchori or Bengali Vegetarian Mishmash with Bottle Gourd Greens. I do not remember eating this willingly, however, now whenever I get fresh Lau Shak or Bottle Gourd greens I for sure purchase it. Apart from the Chorchori I do make Posto diye Lau Shak Bhate or Posto diye Lau Shak as well.

    Maa these days laughs at me when she watches me eating the greens. She probably remembers my growing-up years when I used to throw tantrums whenever served such dishes. With Pasta, however, the case is different. She likes veggies and greens if cooked properly. In fact, she loves Bengali vegetarian chorchoris. It is the same with Mehebub as well. He has grown up eating hostel food where the options were limited. He likes the traditional dishes which were not there when he was growing up.

    Bengali Mishmash; the hotchpotch of versatility!

    Mishmash in Bengali cuisine is highly versatile. We at times call it labra, at times Chyanchra; sometimes Ghonto, and at times Chorchori. These are all prepared with veggies, with or without greens, and with or without fish or meat! All the names of different kinds of Bengali hotchpotches I have shared are characterized by different cuts of veggies! We at times use Ghee while making those; at times skip it if the recipe demands it.

    Chorchori!

    Even Chorchori can be prepared with or without Greens! To make Chorchori we cut the veggies into small cubes and added greens into long strips. It can be both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

    %Lau Shaker Chorchori Recipe

    Talking about Lau Shaker Chorchori, it is not only Vegetarian but Vegan, at least the way I have learned to cook it from my mother and mother-in-law. Surprisingly they both follow the same recipe while making Lau Shaker Chorchori. We cook two different dishes with bottle gourd greens as I already mentioned. One is a mishmash and another is semi-mashed greens with poppy seed paste. I add all the seasonal veggies as well as whatever is available at home while making the chorchori along with potato. Bori not only works as a filler but also makes the dish complete.
