Sabzi Bengali way(Aloo Kalojirer Jhol)

 Sabzi Bengali way

This is a very simple sabzi made with very very few ingredients and goes very well with parathas,puris and rotis.Goes best with bengali luchi for weekend breakfast.Here I have used beans but the same thing you can make with only potatoes.The gravy is bit runny.It cooks super fast and delicious at the same time.Bengalis love this sabzi.You can also cook this directly in pressure cooker until 1 whistle.Turmeric powder in this sabzi is very less.

Ingredients

Potatoes-3 cut into small pieces
Beans-200 gm
Tomato chopped-1
Few slit green chillies
Mustard oil/White oil-2tbsp
Kalongi(onion Seeds)-1/2tp
Turmeric-1/4th tp

salt and sugar to taste
Chopped Coriander -half bunch
Water to make the gravy

Method

Put mustard or white oil in a pan and put tarka of kalongi and slit green chillies.
Add potatoes,beans and tomatoes,little turmeric,salt,sugar and red chilli powder (optional).Fry the whole thing together for some time.
Once Potatoes and beans are half fried add warm water in enough quantity to cook the whole thing.You can even cook in a pressure cooker.With one whistle the veg is cooked.You can keep it liquid form or dry it.
