Labra is a classic Bengali mixed vegetable curry prepared during Durga Puja as part of the bhog. Cooked in mustard oil with panch phoran, it blends seasonal vegetables like pumpkin, potato, beans, and brinjal into a mildly spiced curry. Balanced with a touch of sugar, Labra complements khichuri perfectly in the festive meal.
