Curry Bodi With Potatoes {Recipe}

4 comments
A little while back I was preparing a meal for one of my college friends who was coming for a first-time visit.  I wanted something Caribbean and vegetarian, so I searched Youtube again and found a dish called "Curry Bodi with Potatoes."

I decided that I better try this bodi dish before my guests arrive, plus I bought a new curry powder and wanted to sample its flavor beforehand so I can adjust accordingly.  I didn't have any bodi (hadn't even heard of bodi before finding this recipe) so I used string beans instead.  Later I made this dish for my aunt after a trip to the Asian Market, but their shipment of bodi was coming the next day so I used an American long bean which I was told was a bit sweeter.  It was still good and actually easier to handle.  Maybe one day I will actually get my hands on some bodi.  So what is bodi?  This is bodi - these super long string bean like beans.  Also called long beans and snake beans.

{Curry Bodi with Potatoes}

Ingredients:
bodi (or string beans)
onion
garlic cloves
scotch bonnet pepper (or habañero) (optional)
curry powder
potatoes
tomato
salt

Directions (follow this video):




And here are my photos of this dish:


And if you're wondering if it was good.  The answer is YES!  If you're wondering if my friends enjoyed it as much as I did, well, the answer is no because they were unable to come at the last minute.  Now, I'm going to surprise them with something different the next time our schedules coincide.  :-)

  1. We love dishes with curry. Our favorite is red curry chicken, it's a thai dish. The red curry is a little bit hotter than yellow curry and you make the dish with coconut milk. It's amazing. You can see it you here http://projectsaroundthehouse.blogspot.com/2011/12/red-curry-sauce-recipe.html. I will have to try your dish. It looks yummy.
