This is one of the winter special vegetable/beans available in Karnataka with a entirely different aroma. We get these field beans in plenty during winter season in Karnataka. But In Gurgaon we get only dried field beans. Something is better than nothing…so we make use of that only.
This is a very famous curry there in Bangalore. It can be consumed with dosa, rotti (rice), Ragi balls (mudde) and goes very well with rice as well. This curry can be made in the same procedure using Fresh green Peas and Sem Ki Phali (flat green beans).
