For hand-pounded Gobindobhog we adapted a recipe of Purnima Thakur from her book, Thakur Bari’r Ranna. The dish features the rice scorched in ghee with young jackfruit, sprinkled with bhaja moshla and topped with dressed slices of raw mango. The jhol is of burnt chili and mango, split with dill oil, which does not feature in the original recipe but we wanted to include it because of its piney flavour match with mango.  

 

about
