Labra Bengali is a traditional vegetable medley from Bengali cuisine, blending a variety of seasonal vegetables such as pumpkin, eggplant, radish, sweet potatoes, and green beans, often cooked with mustard oil and seasoned with panch phoron (a Bengali five-spice mix). This dish is typically prepared without onion or garlic, making it a popular choice for festive and religious occasions. Labra is highly nutritious, offering a rich source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the diverse mix of vegetables. The mustard oil and spices contribute to its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. With minimal use of oil and no heavy cream or butter, it is a heart-healthy dish. However, sodium levels can increase if excess salt is added, so seasoning mindfully is encouraged. Typically served alongside khichuri (a Bengali rice and lentil dish), Labra is a delicious way to enjoy a wholesome, plant-based meal.
