For bengalies shukto is a lovely dish cooked with drumstick bittergourd and raw bananas. They are a bit bitter, but there is a lot of food value for the same. Bengalies eat the dish with rice.

@sathviksouvik Your vegetables are exotic to me. I eat cous cous and tofu but don't have spices to liven the dishes. Last week I paired tofu with pineapple and cous cous. That was tasty.
