Know the vegetable recipe

Regarding the recipe of bamboo kareel vegetable, Dulal said that first of all wash it well and cut it into thin slices. Then boil turmeric in light water and clean it by changing the water twice. This removes the smell. Then heat mustard oil in a pan and fry cumin seeds, finely chopped green chilies, garlic and onion. Add boiled bamboo kareel and fry well by adding turmeric, salt and other spices. Finally add chopped tomatoes, add some water and cook on low flame. After this, you can eat it hot with rice or roti.

On the other hand, Kapil, a customer who came to buy Karil vegetable, said that this vegetable is eagerly awaited in his house throughout the year. Its taste with rice is such that even mutton fails. Due to its availability only for a few days in a year, its demand is very high.
