Nepalese potato, black-eyed-bean and pickled-bamboo curry.
About Aloo Bodi Tama
Victoria Glass presents aloo bodi tama as a Nepalese potato, bean and bamboo curry. This version selects her pickled-bamboo option, which she identifies as the more authentic choice, and keeps the traditionally soupy consistency.
Ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander and turmeric season the tomato-based sauce. Naga bhut jolokia supplies fruity heat, with timur optional and lemon juice available to adjust the acidity.
Tender waxy potatoes and black-eyed beans give the bowl its substantial body beside slices of bamboo. Fresh coriander finishes the curry, with rice an optional accompaniment.
