Gurcharanji
all this is confusing me
I dont have your book nor have i seen ritesh's pic
i see the renner paper  but superficially quickly perusing it
it confused this  issue more than clarify it for me...



*tell me please what vegetable is in the white dish that surajit has
photographed here*
that is the fruit/vegetable we get in south 254 paraganas and in Howrah and
north 24 paraganas..
I want to know what it is that I am eating feeding my family...

thanks
