Sunday Means special dishes and Pui Chingrir Ghonto ( Prawns-potato-pumpkin and malabar spinach mishmash) is another classic Bong dish I prepared this time. Pui shaak also known as Basella leaves or Malabar Spinach tastes more delicious with either prawns or Hilsa head than its vegeterian version. Served on a bed of steamed rice its a killer of a dish. You just have to make it to believe.....here's the recipe...
