Today recipe is a cooking style from Bengali cuisine which is adopted from Chinese style of cooking. Chorchori is usually a vegetable dish which is made with one or more vegetables cooked on a high heat in there own juices as much as possible. This chorchari recipe almost sounds like stir fried vegetables which is given an Indian touch with mustard and poppy seed paste and flavored with phoran. Today my chorchori recipe is with Sojne data, sajne data means Drumstick (Munakkaya). I mix potato with drumstick to make chorchori, you can add any other vegetables like ivy gourd, Indian broad beans. you can mix all four vegetables and make chorchori that will be more delicious. any ways I made it with only drumstick and potato..
So let's check the recipe.....

This curry looks fabulous and very different from our south Indian curries,the addition of poppy seeds and mustard paste sounds incredible.
The cooking method sounds very interesting Padma...good one..
That paste will come in handy for other recipes too. Great share
Isn't amazing how almost all the vegetables can be cooked with mustard and poppy seeds. Did not know drumsticks are common even in eastern India.
Chorchori with drumsticks and potatoes sound so delicious..
Very interesting how the curry is cooked. Curry looks delicious:)
I didn't realize that the drumsticks can be used in a gravy based curry even though I have seen one of my aunts preparing Koorafor with it. Guess this flavorful base works for most of the vegetables.
I have seen drumsticks being used in different varieties of sabjis. I am yet to explore. This sounds very flavorful.
Love the combination of drumsticks and potato. Posto sounds delicious.
I know only a couple of recipes using drumsticks. This one is really interesting. Lovely pick!
