The basic need for this recipe is a smooth batter so that it flows properly to make the designs. and shredded chalkumro wont let that happen. but then am really not much aware of how these are made in Bangladesh. <br />In my home we do make chalkumro'r bori with spices and use ripe chalkumro with seeds and the white part. you can see a picture of the same here http://www.ahomemakersdiary.com/2010/01/indian-spices-and-ingredients-from-my.html<br />now to your question you can try makin boris with the kind of gourd you are refering to. just make sure you dont end up with very thin batter. try to discard the extra juice it might have after shredding. try with smaller quantities and see how it goes.Sayantani Mahapatra Mudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806613341538564779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011220938049387934.post-40542422696941377212013-11-28T01:25:39.094-08:002013-11-28T01:25:39.094-08:00Hi , I would like to ask you something, In Banglad...Hi , I would like to ask you something, In Bangladesh these are made mixed with shredded ripe white gourd/ winter melon( chal kumra/ chun kumra). But it must be ripe not the young green one we cook, it has tobe the white podery one. I am not living in Bangladesh, here the green one is available. So I am asking your expert opinion , do you think it will matter if I use the green one instead of the powdery ripe gourd?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011220938049387934.post-46141907259803265712013-04-18T07:47:45.909-07:002013-04-18T07:47:45.909-07:00Ishita, here it is. http://www.facebook.com/AHomem...Ishita, here it is. http://www.facebook.com/AHomemakersDiary?ref=hl<br />I will also try to add you tomorrow its almost midnight here :-)Sayantani Mahapatra Mudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806613341538564779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011220938049387934.post-32297116160001259462013-04-18T07:21:53.824-07:002013-04-18T07:21:53.824-07:00Lovely to hear that in some families the tradition...Lovely to hear that in some families the tradition is still there.

But can't seem to find it anywhere. Left a comment on your recent post as well - the Nolen Gurer Ice cream. Can't seem to understand whether my comments are showing or not.<br /><br />Anyway, this is one of the most beautiful 'Bengali' post I've come across. There's so much of romanticism on Naksha Bori and am glad that you attempted (with great success) to make them as well.

Oh these are so much prettier than the vadams we make! We use the chakli press so the designs are a little fat and not as detailed.<br /><br />I want to disagree a bit on the organic foods part. I try to buy local organic foods first and then regular local foods. We are trying to preserve the natural goodness of our soil with organic farming. Otherwise, we will continue to be held hostage by firms like Monsanto with their pesticides, fertilizers and genetically modified seeds (GMO Corn is already in, Bt Brinjal has been stopped, Cotton status not clear).<br />I guess what I am saying is, Organic foods are good both for the producer and the consumer. kpkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265454840244238146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011220938049387934.post-89710473876786374782013-02-01T08:13:43.041-08:002013-02-01T08:13:43.041-08:00Hello Sayantani,

Then I found it in Tamluk, I loved it and used to grab from there whenever got chances.But never found it in Kolkata though.<br /> After that 10 yrs have been past, now I am in the land of PIZZA and Pasta.But I will try it, only problem is lack of sunlight. May be I will put it in oven.
