Forash (Bengali: ফরাস) is a leguminous winter crop often featured in Bengali cuisine It is a kind of French bean, hence the name “Forash” which means French in Bengali. As a vegetable, it is similar to beans. Raw Forash is cooked as a vegetable, though the main part is its seeds. Forash is usually cooked with fish and meat. It is served with cooked rice and roti. For the Sylhetis who live abroad, especially in the United Kingdom, the United States and the Middle East, Forash is dried in the sun and sent in packets to them.

History

The climate of the Greater Sylhet region is dry in winter and the soil is moist, so Forash has been cultivated in Sylhet since ancient times. It first came to Sylhet from France. This is why it is called Forash in Sylheti language. This vegetable is grown well in the alluvium soil of Sylhet. This winter vegetable has also been growing in Chittagong and Comilla in recent years. Because of its popularity among the worldwide Sylhetis, it is exported to several countries including England, America and Canada.
