Tama Aloo (Bamboo Shoots) Curry!!

Bamboo Shoots (Tama in Nepali) used for food purposes are young new canes harvested before they are two weeks old or one-foot tall. Fresh bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, comparable to asparagus in taste. They are mainly popular in Asia and are often found in Asian cuisines.
In Nepal, bamboo shoot usually is cooked in a curry form with potato and beans. Tama curry is extremely popular and is one of my favorite dishes. In fact, I was very surprised and happy at the same time to find it here in the United States. Each person has his/her own ways of cooking Tama and below is the way I fix it:
