Shakarkand Beans Subzi Recipe (Spicy Sweet Potato Beans Stir fry)
Shakarkand Beans Sabzi Recipe is a delicious preparation of boiled sweet potatoes sauteed along with steamed beans. The potatoes and beans are tossed in coriander powder and turmeric powder and seasoned with mustard and cumin. I like to add a dash of tanginess to the dish by adding juice from one lemon. The shakarkand beans sabzi goes well along with Punjabi Dal Tadka, Phulkas and Steamed Rice.
