A healthy hill dish has recently gone viral on social media. A variety of vegetables boiled with nothing but salt and a hot chilli bhorta seem made for each other. This simple meal holds a balance of nutrition, uncomplicated flavour and homely feeling. Made with few ingredients in little time, it can be the best choice for a health-conscious dinner. Here is the recipe.

You can use any vegetables you like. Besides dried shrimp (chingri shutki), the chilli bhorta can also be made with chicken, prawns or large fish.

First wash and clean all the vegetables and boil them with salt. Meanwhile, for the chilli bhorta, boil the chillies, garlic, onion, dried shrimp and salt together in a little water. When cooked, coarsely grind them on a grinding stone (pata) or in a blender, taking care that the bhorta is not too fine.

The tasty and nutritious boiled vegetables and chilli bhorta are ready. Enjoy them hot with rice.
