What is Mild Bitter Curry?

Mild Bitter Curry, or Shukto, is a classic Bengali vegetarian dish that combines a variety of vegetables with a touch of bitterness—most often from bitter gourd (uchhe/karela) or drumsticks. But unlike other bitter dishes, Shukto is delicately balanced with ingredients like mustard, ginger, poppy seeds, and milk, which transform the bitterness into a smooth, flavorful, and almost refreshing experience.

This dish is traditionally served at the beginning of a Bengali meal. It is believed to aid digestion, cool the body, and prepare the appetite for the rest of the feast. For Bengalis, Shukto is both a comfort food and a wellness food, often prepared during summer lunches, festive gatherings, and family meals.
