Paturi is a traditional Bengali recipe where the fish is coated in mustard paste and is steamed. It is generally cooked, wrapped in a banana leaf. But today I would like to share my version of a paturi style recipe with flat beans.
It is a very simple, easy and equally delicious dish. As banana leaf was not available, I cooked the flat beans, mixed with all the mentioned ingredients in a dum style. This side dish can be had with steamed rice or chapattis. So check out an easy step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this regional dish.
- 400 gms. flat beans, chopped in half
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp. fresh grated coconut
- 2 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1 tsp. red chili powder
- 1 tsp. nigella seeds
- 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp. mustard oil
In a pan / kadai, transfer the chopped flat beans and all the above mentioned ingredients. Mix everything well.
Cover and cook on a low flame by sprinkling some water at intervals till it is done.
When the veggie turns soft, switch off the flame. Your curry is done. It is that simple and easy. Relish as a side dish with either steamed rice or chapatti.
