Kolai Daal - Chalkumro Bori (chhoto)
We have reinterpreted the common knachkola, pnepe aar bori’r jhol with our chal kumro bori. The different elements of the dish are reminiscent of the familiar taste and memory of a humble meal.
about our bori
Boris are traditionally hand-made involving a somewhat labour intensive process that demands skill and experience. These ones are made with chalkumro (ash gourd) mixed into the kolai daal batter to have a somewhat of a dried vegetable lentil dumpling.
