Borboti (বরবটি), also known as yardlong beans or snake beans, is a long, slender vegetable that holds a significant place in Bengali cuisine. Known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, borboti is versatile, nutritious, and easy to prepare. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, including Bengal, and is cherished in both rural and urban households.

Borboti is a popular Bengali vegetable dish, often featuring long beans (also known as yardlong beans) as the primary ingredient. It typically includes a combination of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and sometimes paneer (Indian cottage cheese). These vegetables are cooked together in a flavorful gravy, often seasoned with spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili powder.

In Bengali households, borboti is a regular addition to meals, especially during the summer months when it is abundantly available. It’s easy to grow in home gardens, as the plant thrives in warm climates and climbs trellises, making it a familiar sight in rural Bengal.

Borboti’s long, slender pods can grow up to 1 meter (about 3 feet) in length, which is why they are also called "yardlong beans." Despite their length, they remain tender and are typically harvested before they mature fully.
The name "yardlong beans" comes from their extraordinary length, though they are usually harvested when they are around 1 foot long. While primarily used in Bengali cuisine, borboti is also a common ingredient in other Asian cuisines, such as Thai, Chinese, and Indonesian. Both the pods and seeds are edible, ensuring minimal wastage.
