Aloo Bodi ko Tarkari (Long Beans-Potato Curry)!!

It's been years since I hadn't had Young Beans (Bodi) until I saw it yesterday in the Indian Store. Bodi is like other basic vegetables in Nepali kitchen. It is very simple to cook and is extremely popular back home. We get so many varieties of Bodi in Nepal, for example the ones that are grown in hilly areas, shorter in length as well as longer ones. And each vary slightly in taste. Even though we do not get every kind of Bodi here in the United States, I am more than happy to find one of the many kinds. I found the longer ones and I made a simple everyday curry out of it. Enjoy :)
