#nonindian - This is a simple Bangladeshi homemade delicacy with an amazing yummy flavour. This unique bharta is that of mashed french beans and I must admit it sure was very delectable. This is a great comfort food and goes best with plain steamed rice and if possible with a drizzle of some raw mustard oil. Some sauteed prawns can be added for a non-veg. version. You can try having it with any Indian bread or as a spread on sandwiches.
