I myself have cooked this recipe many a times.. its very similar to what is shown here like frying the shrimps before ... but i would not use garam masala in lau chingri ... see its a very simple dish and adding too much spice would kill the authentic flavor of this recipe ... the shrimp would alone flavor the gourd very nicely... no need to add ghee or garam masala ... u can instead add a little milk a the end to make the gravy thick n creamy
nice production, and I am from chicago, very happy to see the video, but I may not use cheese. I got couple of laus just harvested from my backyard, going to cook tomorrow. some bengalis know how to criticize instead of appreciating the video. AMI EDER BOLI ANTEL KINGBA PONDH PAKA. THANKS TO THE BENGALIRANANAGHAR AND NO THANKX TO CRITICS.
Adding CHEESE & Ghee(clarified Butter made from Cow's milk)Doesn't Keep it VEGAN Anymore...It's Called Vegetarian But NOT VEGAN.... Vegan means No animal products in the Dish....
Good Video though! May be U can consider Editing some steps rather than showing picking up Shrimps 1 by 1 n the Lau boiling etc
Thank you Bengali Rannaghar for this excellent tutorial. I could not enjoy Lau Chingri for many years, because neither my wife nor I could ever make this dish. Last weekend, I made Lau Chingri for 60 guests - while watching this video on my laptop - and everyone loved it. I made 2 changes for convenience: used a food processor for shredding the 4 Lau's, and large shelled, deveined gulf shrimp from SAMS. BTW, I agree with ChicagoNRI, dhakabashi's comments are in extremely poor taste.
This is 'ghoti' style of cooking I guess. My husband who has east bengali lineage was skeptical of the recipe too. That completely changed when we actually tried the recipe and it tastes amazing. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
Well I admit this the only video on youtube with lau chingri but it does not mean that bein the only video I will show something diferrent way of cooking and strange ingredients ...like ghee gorom masala etc.
And I don"t have a video of my own does not mean I shud not write my feelings.
The video song was good indeed I liked it Ranga matir ronge chokh juralo....
Guys! Chill..This is the only video in youtube for lau chingri, please try to appreciate the effort of the person who posted the video who help us all see the 1st lau chingri video..instead of commenting why dont u put ur videos too?
@Chicagonri I appreciate your feeling but be practical. Don't get too much emotional. Are you interested in Indian recipe. Answer my comment . Ok i will give you recipies .
@dhakabashi I agree with you completely. In the Lau dish we never use gorom mosolla. Lau chingri with ghee, it's really aweful. And i think adding too many mosolla will spoil the flavor of chingri.
Please replace the "Background Music" with a proper commentary and run the video at normal speed. (Of course edit out the idle sections like "its boiling for 15 minutes") Great effort though!
FYI, regarding how you took out a portion to have a vegan dish. It wouldn't be vegan because there is ghee (which is an animal product) in it. It would be considered vegetarian however.

Thanks
