Barbatti aloo sabzi- Yard long Beans and potato curry cooked with tomato and yoghurt.
Barbatti aloo sabzi- Chinese long beans /bora /bodie /payar/ cow pea beans /Lobhia ki phali /Chawli ki phali / barbati so many names for the healthy bean ,which is but comparatively less popular among other beans.
Long beans/ barbatti is is a popular bean used in North India specially in U.P and Bihar region.It is mainly a summer vegetable but now very easily available through out the year.It is best used when tender and fresh .It dries soon in comparison to other beans so if some beans dries while storage then don’t throw them just collect the seeds from the dried pods and use in the curry.
It can be made with tomatoes only – barbatti masala curry or you can add few potatoes with barbati.I usually add potato with barbatti and either cook with tomatoes or make a tangy curry with curd ,barbatti aloo sabzi taste great both ways.It taste good with roti or rice both.
