Mouthwatering spring onion leaves curry with mashed potatoes

Pyaz koli! Do you know what it is? Yes it is actually spring onion. in Bengali. We Bengalis mostly eat the stick which carries the flower or bud. But spring onion leaves are not so popular in Bengali. Though some people consume those leaves as salad but still spring onion leaves curry it not so popular in West Bengal. I do not know whether those leaves are used to make any popular curry in any other parts in India or not.

But still some people like it a lot  and I belong to that group of people. I tried this type of leaves curry in a roadside dhaba in Haryana but they used besan or something else to make that. That curry was more spicier than me.

I usually use spring onion to make soups. The stick what carries onion flower also use a popular vegetable in West Bengali. But Bengali Bengali just simply fry those flower stick with potato, no other ingredients are used to make such dish. If you are a Bengali then you can understand the dish.

But spring onion leaves curry is an unusual curry. It is very delicious and I love this item with chapatis or parathas. This year it was my first pyaz patta curry and I enjoyed a lot.

Interesting thing is that, this year I am growing onions too. So I am looking forward when those leaves will be ready for harvesting and I can eat chemical free organic spring onion leaves for the first time that too homegrown. Did you ever grow spring onions at home?

So are you ready to make this awesome dish at home? It is really simple and very very delicious. If you are a newbie cook then also you can make this dish effortlessly at home. Even in my case I made this third time but still I prepared it perfectly. I hope you can do it too.
