String beans with Potato Curry

19 November 2008 941 views 12 Comments

I have just joined Glaxo SmithKline Ltd for my Post Graduate internship. I have become so busy with the work that I couldn’t even think about writing a post for my blog. Yesterday I got a scrap from a school friend. She is presently staying in Bangladesh and as she says there are very few options for any vegan dishes. She requested me to write about some vegetarian dishes for her.

I just could not leave out her request and so thought of posting this dish for her.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

String beans (Barboti): 100gms

Potato (Aalu): 4 medium sizes

Nigella seeds(Kalo jeera): ½ teaspoon

Mustard oil (Sarser Tel): 1 teaspoon

Turmeric Powder (Halud Guro): ½ teaspoon

Green Chili (Kancha Lanka): 2

Preparation:

Slice the strings beans into one inch sizes and the potato into small square pieces
Take oil in a wok and let it heat
Throw in the nigella seeds as the oil gets heated
Add the potatoes and strings beans along with the turmeric powder and salt
Toss the vegetables for a minute so that the oil and spices get mixed
Fry for 2-3 minutes
Pour in 1 cup of water and let it cook with stirring twice or thrice
As the vegetables get cooked take out of flame

Serve with roti, paratha or with steamed rice. It tastes good with anything. Check for more updates here on this blog, till then Happy Cooking, Happy Eating.
