The Plant That Saved Bengal During Famine | Kochu
#thebetterindia
One humble plant helped Bengal survive famine.
But did you know you could eat almost every part of it?
Meet Kochu (Arbi) — a staple of Bengali kitchens where its roots, stems and leaves can all be used in different dishes.
In times when food was scarce, this versatile plant offered nutrition when there was little else available.
And in Episode 3 of India’s Lost Recipes, we go beyond the familiar Maacher Jhol to explore the forgotten foods, ingredients and culinary traditions of Bengal with Usha (@olddays_kitchen on Instagram)
From survival food to beloved Bengali cuisine, what other forgotten Indian recipes should we rediscover?
