Bori is a part of Bengali Cuisine. Many of our traditional dish includes bori such as Shukto, Lau Bori Posto (Bottle gourd in poppy seed gravy, Danta bori r jhol (Drumstick curry), Bori die Macher jhal (Fish curry in mustard paste), and many more. In olden days, our grandmothers, mothers and aunts used to make various types of bori (lentil dumplings) at home. Different types of lentils were used to prepare these. However, mostly we use urad dal dumplings or kalai r dal r bori in curry. Nowadays it is easily available in the grocery shop. You can prepare bori very easily at home.

N.B: Try to prepare bori in summer or winter season when you get proper sunlight. If they are not dried properly, fungus contamination might happen.
