Yard long Beans and potato curry cooked with tomato and yoghurt.
Barbati is a popular bean used in North India specially in U.P and Bihar region,it is also called as boda/bodi.
It can be made with tomatoes only – barbatti masala curry or you can add few potatoes with barbati.I usually add potato with barbati and either cook with tomatoes or make a tangy curry with curd ,taste great both ways.
Barbati aloo ki subzi can be served with roti or jeera rice.
