Ghevda Ki Sabzi-Ghevdyachi Bhaji

October 4, 2018 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Ghevda Bhaji

Ghevda ki Sabzi or as it is known in Marathi- Ghevdyachi Bhaji is a stir fry, veg preparation made with one of the commonly found green vegetable- Ghevda or flat beans. This simple yet delicious veg recipe is a perfect lunchbox menu and goes very well with some hot Phulkas/Chapatis.

Seasonal green veggies like field beans play an important role in cuisines of Maharashtra and Gujarat. I absolutely adore when my Thali is filled with nutrition and yet looks aesthetically pleasing-full with dishes of varied colors and hence green occupy a prominent place in my Thali.

As monsoons begins to wane off, local vegetable market here are replete with seasonal produces and fresh greens. Ghevda is available in abundance at my local vegetable vendor and I often end up buying it in my weekly purchase. Ghevda, Val Papdi or Valor Papdi is known as flat beans. These tender green pods are edible and have slightly sweet flavored beans inside, which add a fleshy and buttery texture to its preparation.

Val papdi in its winter version is Surti Papdi especially popular in Gujarat and is a main ingredient in Undhiyu. Ghevda is a daily veg preparation that goes well in tiffin with some Chapatis. It can also be a perfect side dish with your usual comfort Food-Dal Chawal!

Ghevda Bhaji

I would recommend to cook these greens just enough to retain its crunch. I like to temper this preparation with some carom seeds, chopped garlic and onions. Usually stir fry preparations are tempered with Cumin and not carom seeds. However, I would suggest you to add carom seeds to Ghevda Bhaji and experience for yourself the uniqueness of its taste. Ghevda is good for those who have weight loss enlisted on their yearly resolution chart and it also helps in regulating the blood cholesterol levels.

Pranay loves it when I pack Ghevda Bhaji in his lunchbox with some soft phulkas and flaxseed chutney !
