Labra tarkari recipe-Very special Bengali niramish khichuri-labra for Durga or Lokkhi pujo'r bhog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2019
- Labra tarkari recipe: Growing up in a Bangal (immigrant East Bengali) household in a refugee colony, Lokkhi pujo was the biggest pujo at home. The sudden emptiness one feels knowing that Durga pujo is over was somewhat ameliorated by the knowledge that Lokkhi pujo is just around the corner. On the eve of Lokkhi pujo, heaps of vegetables would be cut and prepped for the array of dishes that were to accompany thamma's bhuna khichuri (a dry polao like khichuri). The star of the show-aside from the bhuna khichuri-was thamma's labra'r torkari. On the evening of Lokkhi pujo friends, family and neighbours would sit down to eat thamma's bhuna khichuri and labra. The next morning, we would have the leftovers for breakfast. Some family members argue that it tastes better stale than on the same day.
This recipe was passed on to thamma (my paternal grandmother, Durga) by her mother-in-law, my great grandmother. It has a particular set of vegetables cooked in a specific order. Family recipes differ based on which vegetables go into the labra-in our family, for example, mulo (radish), common in many households, is not added.

Families tend to have a unique set of vegetables for labra. For example, in our family we don't put radish (mulo). Comment with the set of vegetables that are used in your family's labra recipe.
e.g. our labra has the following vegetables:
- alu (potato)
- mishti alu (sweet potato)
- gathi kochu (taro corm)
- begun (brinjal)
- kachkola (unripened banana)
- thor (banana stem)
- phulkopi (cauliflower)
- badhakopi (cabbage)
- sheem (flat beans)
- borboti (yard-long beans)
kumro (ripe pumpkin)

Well I am not a Bengali i have eaten Labra only once in previous year Durga Puja of Abhijeet Bhattacharya Sir in Mumbai and it was amazing with kichuri, bhajas, chatni and payesh just lip smacking will be looking forward to this bhog. Shubho Sharadiya. Joy Maa Durga
আমার মা সব ই দেয়, খালি কোনো এক অদ্ভুত কারণে আমার পাতে আমার অপছন্দের সবজি গুলো পরে😒😒

আমি মুসলিম। তবু বিশ্বাস করেন পূজো আমার ভাল লাগে৷ সবার চোখেমুখে দারুন আনন্দ থাকে আর পূজোতে খাবারের যে বৈচিত্র আছে বাংগালিদের ভিতর সেটা অন্য কোথাও দেখিনা৷ এই ধরেন ল্যাবরা,লাড়ু হরেক রকমের মিষ্টি মিঠাই! এইসব শুধু যেন আর্ট লাগে। যা ভাবছি কাল পরশু এটা বানাবো৷ যদি একা মানুষ তবুও বানাব। ধন্যবাদ রেসেপি দেওয়ার জন্য।

This is what I feel.. I nvr knew there is something 'thor' in vegetables too 😁😁

People don’t appreciate how healthy Bengali cuisine is! This is my most favourite torkari and I wait for durgo pujo to have it in bhog with khichuri ❤️❤️❤️ nothing trumps this combo in Pujo! I hope ae bare pujo dekhte pabo ❤️
I love how your cooking is so traditional but also so practical. You don't try to make things fancy - that's why it feels authentic.
Greetings from London. I was eagerly waiting for this particular video since the day I subscribed to your channel. I'm a huge fan of bengali cuisine. I'm originally from A&N Islands that has quite a big bengali population. I got too many childhood memories attached to durga puja and bengali cuisine in general. thank you so much for creating this channel. I feel closer to home because of you. ❤️
the 2 most important things of your videos are:
1. it looks so clean and healthy...
2. editing...
hi
Loving the recipes without onion and gralic..everywhere i search for recipes onion and garlic is used compulsarily. Such happiness to see these recipes.😊
This is the best cooking channel on TH-cam. There's something about your videos people from Bengal can easily connect with. Every receipie seems to be infused with taste, knowledge and lots of experience regarding Bengali cuisine which is undoubtedly the most versatile and yummy cuisine ever. I am running out of words to compliment you guys. 😁
This item has lot of emotions in Bengali . We loved bhog er kichuri and labra. Authentic bengali veg item.
My God such rich , evolved n distinct culture of Bengal nevertheless beautiful
Yah. It tastes Soo good and is a must for any occasion in our home 😊
It's not only food it's our emotion. . . . ❤❤❤❤

কেউ কেন dislike দিবে এবং কীভাবে দিবে! এত সুন্দর ভিডিওটা, ইলিশ দিয়ে একগাদা ভাত খেয়ে দেখতে বসেও পেট চোঁ চোঁ করছে। কিন্তু চোখ জুড়িয়ে গেছে। আপনাদের চ্যানেল প্রথম খুঁজে পেয়েছিলাম লাবড়ার একটা ভালো রেসিপি খুঁজতে যেয়ে। এতদিনে পেলাম সেটা। কিছু সবজি প্লাস মাইনাস করে কালকেই রান্না করে ফেলবো 😊
আপনাদের জন্য ভালোবাসা এবং শারদীয় শুভেচ্ছা ❤
This is possibly the most stunning, elaborate and meticulous vegetable preparation I have come across! Loved it!
Thank you :-)
My partner and I are in a middle of a fight and I decide to clean the study table. There is only standing fan in our house. And he took that with himself in the living room. I haven't eaten anything since morning. It's 6.30 pm now. It's freaking hot. And in the middle of the cleaning session I decide to watch Bong Eats. Even a meditation video cannot make me calm but Bong Eats does that!
Meditation video doesn't make any one calm. U have to do it yourself for the results😆
I thought your partner made this recipe to make you calm in the first half like all feel good youtube comments 😆
বাপরে বাপ কত্ত্ব কাণ্ড..তারপর না এই অসাধারন আয়োজন..মন ভরে যায় আপনাদের রান্না গুলা দেখলে..আর আনন্দ হয় আমি বাঙালি ।
You guys were brought up in a loving home, taught to love and respect food. Just feeling the love, have forgotten this feeling of belonging ❤️
The way you cut veggies is like an ASMR
I love it 😍😍
Edit :- thanks for so many likes
Full form of ASMR ...

Good that you mentioned her vegetable cutting skill. The sound of knife slicing the veggies is so good to hear.
jain people: we make the best veg dishes
Bengalis : HOLD MY FISH!
our veg dishes are really good, but i still prefer our non veg food :/
You are right sir ... We have more vegetables and veg dishes then any other veg community ... But we are stereotyped .. fish rice .. also egg, chicken and specially mutton are very very regular dishes ... Complete package ...
👍👍😀😂😀😍😍true
U r right except for the fact that jains don't eat ginger as well, neither potato nor kochu. Probably most of them don't even consume eggplant.
@@adityashaw5069 then what do they eat?
I have attempted a couple of the items from the channel and they have come out well! Thanks for these easy, step by step videos! Also, I must say this, one of the reasons why I love the videos on this channel is the consistently high quality of the videos. The quality of the food and recipes aside, the well planned videos, with the perfect match of background scores and ambient noises - just an audio-visual treat before the gastronomic one! Thank you, so much!
Pure love for food.I am an Odia and married in a Bengali family...I have learnt so much Bengali cooking from u..Bless u guys..
The sound " Khichuri n labra " it feels like pujo . Khichuri chara pujo kemon jeno incomplete theke jay . I just loved it
I am from odisha and a regular viewer... I wait for every Friday for your videos... I have to say you guys are genius... You made classical authentic indian bangali food so....... I am running out of words.. you guys are unbelievable.... Hats off
Oh me tooooo
I could watch just the veggie prepping for hours. So calming
मजा आ गया .. मुह में पानी आ गया .. बहुत शानदार और मजेदार पकवान ... शुद्ध बंगाली खिचड़ी और आल मिक्स सब्जी ..भाजा
I am a non Bengali, but my husband is a Bengali, This channel made my life easier in cooking. Thank you 😊
As per your recipe first time I cooked a authentic labra. Other wise every time it's smashed. But today it's perfect. Absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Saptarshi and Insiya. And lots of love to Thamma ( Saptarshi's Grand Mother) . Love you all. ❤
Khub khushi holam shune. Thank you 🙂
@@BongEats 😘
So many vegetables put together but each of them gives it own flavour
I am bengalis son in law... N i love all begali dishes, specially lebra, gehat, shukto..
And here I am. Having dinner with boiled rice and chicken lol. I miss my mom and all her cookings. This used to be what she would cook during "ekadoshi broto". Good times.
Love from Canada!
Finally I could make labra! I didn't have all the vegetables used here, also couldn't follow the measurements, neither could I use coconut due to allergy, but I followed rest of the cooking process and the output was awesome, exactly how I desired it to be! My family also liked it very much. Thank you very much for this recipe as labra has always been in my favorite list but could never make it perfectly.
The essence of bengali food is portrayed very well in this channel.Watching this recipe, mouth is literally watering.😅😅😅
Major homesickness happening here....this is beyond comfort food....its a chapter from my childhood.....you guys are killing it!!!! with your choice of recipes...Keep up the great work!!! 😊
Akebare amader dhakaia ranna.Fatafati.
My mom taught me how to take those fibers out of the banana plant stem ... She used to do exactly the same thing using the traditional vegetable cutter, you know where you can sit and cut the vegetables (called Paniki in Odisha/ Boti in Bengal - Courtesy of Wikipedia).
One of the reason I love your videos is that it take me back to the old days... So, Thank you for making such wonderful videos..!!
Banana stem is such an underrated vegetable.All that fibre is so good for your body.So apart from a couple of south Indian states W.B is probably one of the few Indian states that uses banana stem.Labra seems very similar to aviyal and undhiyo. All are one pot dishes,using a medley of veggies and a fair amount of coconut. Your videos are very useful for us non-bongs who like your cuisine but are unable to find good vegetarian options even in bong restaurants. Thanks for all your hard work and quality content. Good luck.
s Keshav yep banana stem is quite common in bengali cuisine - apart from labra, there are dishes where “thor” by itself is the central element. Same with banana blossoms, and of course unripe bananas as well.
We use in Assam as well, that too extensively:)
Prepared labra with bhoger khichuri on the auspicious occasion of Mahashtami. Added mulo (as it was available in fridge) , removed cabbage ( not in stock)... excellent taste... super excellent instructions leading to a no-fail recipe.. keep inspiring us guys.. you’re really wonderful.
My favourite dish... Labra khichdi.. 😋😋 jis jisne nhi khaya Kavi must try.. muu me pani aajayaga.. Yaad rahega.. hamesa... ☺️☺️😊
Its such a divine experience. Seeing you cutting vegetables, the sound of cutting vegetables and that background music. Amazing mesmerising and what to say.
Thanks you make me cry...I live in Canada,,,.m missing barir laxmi pujo..
Durdanto dekhte dakhte jiver jol samlatei parchhilam na...❤️❤️❤️👌
I am a bengali from Goa. Didi, You have immense patience! And blessed with 'Pak Shakti' Goddess Annapurna!
AMAZING... actually aapki jitni tareef karu kum hai. I am writing this comment even before you start cooking. Your devotion to cooking is inspiring... God bless you and your team...
Just the recipe one needs during Pujo! ♥️
You guys are blessing in disguise!
Ur channel made a North Indian in love with Kolkata
Its trully amazing to see how meticulously you prepare these dishes. Many people might ignore the comments that you give and just focus on watching you cook, but those small text actually shows the deep knowledge you have. E.g - KEEP POTATOES IN WATER TO STOP THEM FROM TURNING BLACK. Thats experience speaking ...
I am just drooling over this labda and waiting for the evening lokkhi pujo prosad 😊
Just love your videos guys.. I've commented in other videos too but, couldn't stop from praising all over again. The way u show- step by step with explanations written down.. No vocals..Such graceful chopping and presenting.. Traditional Bengali recipes.. Just love it.
It makes cooking our traditional dishes much easier. Also, just watching your videos is also amazing.. This is pure art :)
Thank you 🙂
Wish you all a happy durga puja from bangladesh.
The nutritional quotient in labra is unbeatable. Fresh seasonal vegetables, with minimum masala, the magic of panch phoron and bhaja moshla. I hear my tummy rumble.
তোমাদের এই রেসিপি দেখে কাল পূজোর রান্না করেছি।খুব ভালো হয়েছে ।সঠিক সময়ে এইরন্ধন প্রনালী দেখানোর জন্য ধন্যবাদ । শুভেচ্ছা রইলো👍

Eternal Bengali cuisine!!! Bhoger khichuri and Labra.... They are always mouth-watering!!! 😍😍😍😍
Its been a while since I had Labra. I could almost smell the dish. Brings back good memories of puja.

Loved the presentation and the “bangaliyana”.. khunti-kodai, gaamcha diye dhora..just love love love 💓
Wow!This type of Labra is enough for lunch.I like it.Thanks lot for sharing nice recipe.
This classic recepie took me back to my childhood.. Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous Pujo
This video satisfied my soul.
It's important to keep our tradition alive... meticulous passionate cooking... ❤️ Loved it
Pujo'r essential ar ekta bhishon e elusive recipe!! Daarun laaglo dekhe!!
Gorgeous video as usual. I passed out (in a good way) when you added the grated coconut. 😍I will definitely make this with the veggies in my garden. (We have seem, pumpkin, begun) Thank you for all your videos.
লাবড়া কে খুব underestimate করতাম গো। আর কোন্নদিন করবো না 😍😍😍
রান্নাটা অবশ্যই সুন্দর । কড়াইটা দারুণ । খুব ভালো লেগেছে।
Being hardcore ghoti we had no concept of labra at lakkhi pujo which again took place as dipanwita lakkhi pujo during diwali. Menu was designed & cooked by my thakuma & ably helped by ma, kakima & domestic help.
Bhaja mug daler Khichuri, aloo phulkopir makha makha tarkari, phulko luchi, gobindbhog chaler payesh, tomato amsatta chutney aar panch rokom bhaja.
Served in svetpathorer thala for lakkhidevi & kalopathorer thala for narayan. After bhog utsarga, we kids(many of us-big family) line on dalan with kalapata.
Thank you bong eats for taking me down my memory lane & those were fantastic days.
So overwhelmed by childhood missed telling you that the labra has come out lip smacking.little time consuming but i'll reduce quantity of veggies. Hope that will help. Pretty unique & one such side dish is enough for lunch.
it's very healthy.😍😍 and tasty.
For my family its aloo, kumro, begun, Thor, some daata, badha kopi, jhinge, potol, we don't put narkel And mulo also bcz I hate mulo...
But I'll try with narkel... It looks delicious 😍😋
This is my most favourite video of this channel,I had made this Labra in pahela baisakh 2020,except I skipped ghee and coconut.Also Its so relaxing to watch
Aaah ...finally. I have been waiting for ages for this particular recipe. The ones that are there on the net just do not cut the mark.
Looking forward to making this.
So much of efforts! Really tasty & appreciable ..😍
5:01 Teacher to bestfriends in class 😂😂
Great preparation Bong Eats ❤
Labra is one of the tarkaris I die for. The smell and the taste...it's just ummmmm..... Nd this video is mind blowing..... 🙏
Just leaving a comment to say I tried this out today and my family loved it.
Thank you 💞
I love the ingredients chart you did after adding beans. Please continue it.

I can see your vegetables chopping all day....you are an expert.
Tasnuva Ahmed hey do watch akis kitchen you will love his cooking 👍
Really appreciate such precise cutting of vegetables with knife instead of traditional 'boti.. Thanks for bringing such traditional dishes
I am so glad I chanced upon your you tube channel.... I missed learning how to cook the typical Bengali fair from my grandmother and used to really miss the traditional meals prepared by her .... now watching your videos I can learn the ranna!!
I want a roshogulla recipe from bong eats very badly😭😭
Me too pls
You can try Ayesha Siddiqa's channel for that.
Am also waiting since long
It is similar to a dish called "poriyal" in tamil nadu, we have it on a daily basis with seasonal vegetables
The tastes are very different actually, west bengali food tends to be on sweet rather than savoury side (note the 56g of sugar used here). And this is not a daily item. I am a bong in chennai. They taste very different n i like both in their own ways
it's more similar in spirit (not in taste) to avial from Kerala actually. Again, a mixed vegetable medley with a lot of root vegetables usually had on festive occasions (onam). Of course, the flavours are quite different.
I have made both poriyal and this recipe at home almost on any occassions. To be honest both the recipes are very tasty but, are very different from eachother.
@Anasuya Sarkar true that. I guess a closer relation to Labra would be Undhiyu.
At least poriyal has no sugar. I mean I cant eat my main course sweet. 🤪
Best labra cooking demonstration on the planet.. this video is a documentation of what " bengali widow cuisine" was. Using past tense as I don't think so any present day house hold prepares any vegetarian bengali widow cuisine items .. Bengalis are now surviving on chicken , tomato ketchup and rice or roiti ..
