Simple comfort food recipes to nourish the Soul

October 12, 2007 Curries & Gravies

Gavarichi Bhaji (Cluster beans curry)

Gavar-Cluster Beansis a popular vegetable in Maharashtra. They are available all year round here for a very modest price.

The only hitch in buying these beans is the time taken to cut them- remove the ends and string them along, pulling the edged fibre. Pluck into small pieces (with hand) at the nodes of the pods.

Tender Green Cluster bean pods spiced up with some Kala/ Goda Masala dish up a delectable curry that can be served with Roti or Rice.
