Sri Lankan Green Beans Curry / Bonchi Themparaduwa

Sri Lankan Green Beans Curry / Bonchi Themparaduwa

Green Beans curry or commonly called as Bonchi curry is another tasty vegetable dish from Sri Lanka. We have few different recipes for Green Beans. This is a bit spicy way of cooking green beans. We like this Bonchi curry to eat with plain rice together with some other curry and sides. When cooking this green bean curry, I used oil to fry the green beans and other ingredients such as onions. After that I added coconut milk to make it a curry with gravy.

 

Recipes for Green Beans

Actually, I was not very good in cooking Green Beans earlier. Sometimes it is over cooked or under cooked. But, through the time, now I am able to share some Green Beans recipes tried by me.Hope you will enjoy cooking this.
