Guvar Phali Aloo Ki Sabzi – Cluster beans and potatoes cooked in a tangy tomato curry

Guvar Phali aloo ki Sabzi- Guvar ki phali/Cluster beans are traditionally a summer vegetable and very easily available in that season. In few places where it is not available,it is usually available in canned and frozen forms in supermarkets.

These beans are slightly bitter in taste and have a tougher texture as compared to to french beans or long beans. The edge of these beans is especially fibrous, and you’ll have to remove the side strings.

This step adds extra 5-10 minutes to the process, but is very important to ensure that the dish doesn’t end up being excessively chewy. Once you remove the side strings of  guvar phali , it is preferable to steam or boil the beans first, in case you to plan to make a stir fry or dry curry.

As this is a heavier vegetable to digest, it is always a good idea to add a little ajwain (carom seeds)and Hing/ asafoetida to the tempering. It helps the digestion, and adds a great taste too.

The version I am posting today is a “wet curry” (or patli / rasedaar subzi). For a dry stir fried version of guvar ki phali, you may want to look at these recipe links-
