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

Go Bananas!
Jihvā for Ingredients (JFI) is an online monthly food event, celebrating the Ingredients and what they can do for our Jihvā. This is the brainchild of Indira of Mahanandi.

These Banana recipes are being sent to Mandira. Thank you Mandira for hosting this month’s JFI-Banana.

BTW, Lima Beansare also called Pavta in Marathi (which I very well know). This I learned after some research on them; though what we get locally looks a bit different than the canned ones. The buttery nutty flavour of the Lima beans complimented the soft beautiful Farfalle bows in a tangy tomato-mushroom sauce. This…
Thai style vegetables in Red curry and Saffron Rice
In contrast to week days, Weekends I cook some elaborate meals. This weekend I made this Thai style vegetables in Red curry and Saffron Rice.
