Recipe for Ireel/Snake Beans/Long Beans/Eeril Bhaji
This Vegetable has a very close place to heart because It has a very Goan emotion to it. This bhaji is called Snake Beans or Long Beans because of itās long length and itās look similar to that of a snake. In Konkani, this is called Eeril/Irvil/Irveel/Virvil/Iril/and so many different pronunciations. The pronunciation and spellings differ in South Goa and North Goa. I am from North Goa and My Mom has always called it āIreelā bhaji so Iād just like to stick to that š I had a nice brief discussion with my Goan Food Blogger friends and my aunt as well. All gave me different spellings! So cool I thought, I should use them all š I love to eat Ireel Bhaji with Fish curry and Rice in a foogath style(plain with coconut and no masalas). And my Mum always says thereās more fun in hand-breaking each bean than cutting it. So, thatās exactly how I break my beans and trust me, itās so exciting to do it. These days, Iāve been craving to eat a nice Veg dish with Hot Chapatis. I had bought a nice big bunch of Ireel Bhaji so I decided Iāll experiment something different with this batch. It turned out So delish so I thought I must share it with all of you. Do give it a try
