Farasbi batata bhaji recipe - French beans potato sabzi

bhaji in a plate
Farasbi batata bhaji recipe - A simple bhaji with french beans and potato is  a side dish which perfectly goes well  with rice and curry, rotis and chapathis. Needless to say that it is healthy, low fat and full of nutrition. Hence including it in the diet is very beneficial for health.  I use beans frequently in dals, curries, sabzis and stir fries. This is an easiest and simplest bhaji with lesser ingredients that you can make quickly without much of an effort. 

I love to try side dish with french beans in combination with sprouted green grams, masoor dal, chickpea and green peas. Tender french beans in combination with potato makes an awesome side dish. French beans are available throughout the year. Whenever I visit vegetable market I never forget to buy it. When I feel like to cook quick and easy dish I stick to the easy stir fry and chapathi. A spoonful of pickle, papad and curd rice along with it make a complete meal.
