Lau Shukto, or shukta, made with bottle gourd, is a mild, creamy, Bengali appetiser served for lunch. Shukto is not just one dish. Like Bengali dalna, or ghonto, it is a type of preparation. Shukto usually has a bitter element—achieved sometimes using bitter vegetables, at other times through bitter spices such as methi (fenugreek) or mustard. But it is always mild (never hot, sour, or spicy) and usually creamy—that comes from either milk, or poppy seed paste, or mustard paste. Shukto is always served for lunch. This is one of the easiest shukto recipes out there.
