West Bengal has extremely hot and humid summers. This is made especially during the summer season as it is very refreshing and light. It is known as shoji morich jhol where shobji refers to veggies, morich is pepper (combination of black pepper and chillies) and jhol is a light broth. You can use any veggies of your choice and you do not need to stick to the quantities of veggies I used.
Ingredients - Serves 6 to 8
For the bora -
* 1/2 cup/135 gm yellow split peas (matar ki dal)/Bengal Gram Dal (chana dal)
* 1/2 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
* 1/4 th tsp hing (asafoetida)
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 th tsp nigella seeds (kalonji/kalojere)
For the light broth -
* 175 gm zucchini
* 195 gm eggplant
* 110 gm carrots
* 100 gm green beans
* 185 gm butternut squash/pumpkin
* 116 gm sweet potato
* 180 gm potato
* 2 to 3 whole green chillies (optional)
* 12 gm ginger / 1 heaped tsp
* 1 tsp turmeric powder
* 1 & 1/2 tsp salt or as per taste
* 5 cups water for the broth
* 1 tsp heaped nigella seeds/kalonji
* 10 to 12 black peppercorns
* 2 tsp panch phoron
How To Make Panch Phoron - • How to make PANCH PHOR...
* 2 dry red chillies
*** Points to note
* soak dal overnight
* add water little at a time while blending the dal
* whisk the dal for 5 to 8 mins very well to get light and soft boras
* the boras freeze well
* the boras soak up the broth considerably so you need a runny broth at the end
* serve it with rice or you can also have with toasted bread

Thanks for sharing a lovely recipe:) I roasted the veggies with olive oil & herbs in the oven & then added it to the liquid. Took ur advice & I added the vadas last. Thank you for sharing:-)

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for trying this recipe and sending your feedback. At what oven temp you roasted the veggies and for how long?

[@Sharmi0308]

​@@CurriesWithBumbiI bake softer veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, zuchini, at 375 F for 25 mins. Harder veggies like potato, beets, sweet potato, raddish at 400 F for 40-45 mins. For caramelization, I move it to the top rack & broil for 2-3 mins, watching it closely. Thanks for sharing. Hope this helps:)

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@Sharmi0308 thanks for your reply

As an Italian guy in love with Indian cuisine I was just looking for an Indian way to Italian "Minestrone" and here it is!!! Thank you and kudos for your "zucchini" pronunciation, really spot-on!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I am happy to hear that you love Indian cuisine.

Apart from an accomplished, chef,you are an wordsmith. How well your mellifluous words simmer along , with the cuisine, you cook, it simply enhances the flavor. Of the food. Simply you are immensely talented !!

Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks

[@t181]

This is one of the most unique recipes I have ever seen. I think when I make boras, I'll have to make double the portion, otherwise there will be nothing left for the curry. 🤣 They look so good! 😊

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I would say make a lot so that you can freeze them and then add to your curries whenever you feel like. Thanks for referring them as “bora”.

[@cookwithrubina4601]

Thank you Bumbi. Can we bake or steam the boras?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can steam them but please be extra careful when adding in the broth as they tend to break

[@amitchaudhuri8142]

Lovely homely dish you've prepared Bumbi. Utterly nutritious and sure good to eat. How about adding a few tomatoes?

I love your recipes.. I took one and used beef *as it was all I could afford.... and the whole peppers, with the potatoes and onion..* omg that came out so good. *I did it in the crock pot and it was a long long cook, and it was a 5 day meal fest*.... cheap eats but never so good.
