Bengali Summer Squash Curry
In the summer, Indian food is the perfect food, because I find spicy curries to be intensely cooling. (Probably because all of the spices make me sweat, which then evaporates and makes me feel cooler.)
I also like to make simple vegetable dishes that use the diverse bounty of local crops, so I am always coming up with new curries that feature these nutritious and very tasty foods.
My latest creation is a Bengali style curry using fresh summer squashes, spring onions, fresh garlic, ginger, cilantro, chilies and the spice mixture, panch phoron. It is fantastic, and quite easy to make, and what is best is that this intensely colorful dish is not only good hot, but lukewarm or cold, too. It is great!
