Chauran Pharyun|Long Beans

Alka Keswani — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:13:09 +0000

Pharyun in Sindhi could mean the pod of any legume or pulse grains but most of the Sindhis consider french beans as the Pharyun. Chauran (or Raanh) means Chawli or black eyed beans and the whole beans are called Chauran Jyun (of) Pharyun. Tender Long beans are not commonly had in many Sindhi homes though fresh pods from the matured beans are often cooked in Sindhi style gravy dish (Ras mein). Recently I found extremely fresh tender long beans and couldn’t resist buying a bunch of it. I cooked it the way Sindhis make Gvar/Guar patata. In the Thali: Chithyal Chauran Pharyun (Long beans) Juar Jo Dhodho (Patted Jowar Roti) Mung (Whole mung) Green chutney (Mint coriander chutney with awla). Vangi (Cucumber) and Ambh (Mango) Confession: Traditionally Sindhis cook cluster beans to make a dry subzi and the beans are crushed/smashed to attain a peculiar texture. I did cook the long beans the traditional way (smashed). The flavors were good but the texture was bit pasty. I prefer slightly undercooked beans so I was not happy with this texture.

Guaar Patata(Cluster beans with Potato)And Dhoklas for Tried and Tasted

Alka Keswani — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:56:51 +0000

Guaar or gavar or Cluster beans, is one green veggies that my son is not very fond of. Still when I add potatoes to the guaar, he eats it without any fuss. Ideally Sindhi style Guar is made by first boiling the guar in an open pan, till soft. It is then mashed well by pounding with a whisker having a flat base (mandiyaro). A tadka of ginger garlic is made in a pan/ spiri to which tomatoes and spices are added. Once cooked, mashed beans are added and cooked further. The dish is little pasty or mush like. I personally don’t prefer it that way and I like to cook this subzi the way my mother used to make. Sharing her recipe with you. Let’s straight away jump to today’s recipe!
