Surti Papdi, also known as Indian flat beans, is a seasonal favourite especially popular in Gujarati cooking. These flat green pods are tender, mildly sweet, and ideal for dishes like undhiyu, papdi nu shaak, and mixed vegetable curries. Their crisp bite and fresh flavour make them a must-have in winter kitchens.
They are rich in fibre, folate, and plant-based protein, supporting digestion and general wellness. Surti papdi pairs well with brinjal, potatoes, and spicy masalas, enhancing both texture and taste in vegetarian recipes. They're especially loved for festive cooking and traditional thali meals.
Keep refrigerated and consume within 2–3 days. Wash and trim the ends before cooking. Use in pressure-cooked dishes, stir-fries, or steamed with spices for authentic flavour.
