papdi bhaji– an easy recipe of sauted and steamed papdi or flat green beanswhich i often make at home during winters. the recipe is similar to the goan recipe of french beans foogath.
papdi is also known as hyacinth beans or indian broad beans in english. in marathi, these beans are called as papdi or val papdi. in gujarati, they are known as surati papdi or valor papdi. in hindi, called as sem ki phali or papdi. these beans are nutritious and very healthy.
this papdi bhaji recipe is madewith very few ingredients. so this allows the flavor and taste of the flat beans to come through in this dish. fresh coconut added to the bhaji, gives a mild sweet taste coupled with the faint sweetness of the beans.
the papdi bhaji goes very well with dal-rice or sambar rice or with chapatis or rotis. in the pics, the papdi bhaji is served with steamed rice and a mangalorean style pumpkin and black eyed peas sambar.
these beans are available during the indian winters and i do make them often in this season. one more val papdi recipe made maharashtrian style with peanuts will be added soon on the blog.
