This Fulkopir Paturi recipe is a vegetarian twist to the traditional Bengali ‘Paturi’, which is typically made with fish. Fish are marinated with spices dominated by mustard and then steam cooked in a banana leaf. In this vegetarian Paturi recipe, 'Fulkopir' or Cauliflower is grated and marinated in a spicy paste. Since this dish is steam cooked, there is very less use of oil. The flavours of the marinade remains intact after steaming.

Fulkopir Paturi is a healthy and guilt free side dish that can be a part of your Bengali Meal, along with Phulka, Chirer Pulao, and Chaler Payesh. It can also be served with plain cooked rice.
