LongbeansStirfry


I Never saw this bean variety before,it happened  to me one fine day .I was surprised to see it and i got it with a curiosity how it will be  .I guess they taste a bit different from our regular curry beans and  taste similar like "asparagus" which i never tasted .You can add some peanuts while tempering if you like little crunchiness while eating this veggie .
Its called long beans but according to me the taste is little different than our regular beans .When i searched for it wikipedia says Its also called "yard long beans","Chinese long beans" ,"Pea bean" ,"Snake bean".
I am returning to my schedule slowly and will be posting as usual very soon .So until then please be patient.
