Taro Root Curry | Gathi Kochu r Dalna | Pure Vegetarian Recipe

Today sharing one more pure vegetarian recipe Taro Root Curry. In Bengali it is called Gathi Kochu r Dalna. It is a root vegetable . Basically it is good to taste with shrimp/prawn. But today's recipe is for pure vegetarian. Some people also like to cook using onion and ginger also. But I prefer without onion-ginger. Because I feel each vegetable has its own flavor, so if you cook it using few spices , it tastes better than using spices. My mother is my best chef I have seen in my life. Though it is true for every daughter also. Still I learned so many special tips from her, which made me perfect as a cook. She used to do this curry without onion ginger and that is why I follow her too. Thanks Maa !
