Baby Corn Beans Brinjal Diye Torkari/Sabzi

It’s been quite a while I have posted a vegetarian recipe with local vegetables that are available here in plenty. When ever we go for shopping vegetables, my little girl reminds me to put baby corn, beans in our shopping cart. Well usually baby corn, beans are much popular ingredients in Chinese stir/fry or in Continental cuisine. But I have tried to incorporate them in our daily torkari that we make regularly.And I don’t need to add baby corn and beans are very much part of our weekday chicken soup recipe also, an ever versatile and adapting recipe. Basic recipe can be found Here.
I am sure any part of the world you go, vegetarians are always finding it difficult what to eat. But if you can just think about how you can adapt local vegetables in your day –to-day basis, then things becomes easy.

This stir/fry resembles more of a chorchori type of preparation.But I cant really tell whether this qualify to be more traditional chorchori , so I thought perhaps it would be safe to call it “torkari” or “Sabzi” in Hindi for that matter .
So here is the recipe for Baby corn Beans Brinjal torkari/sabzi- My 3B torkari
