Sem Ki Phali ki Sabzi

I don't know whats it called in English probably hyacinth beans or broad beans. I missed to take a picture of the beans before chopping it up.The young tender beans taste the best and simple mezhukvarrati(fry) with just onion and green chili tastes heavenly but what we get here in Indian shops fresh or frozen is always a little tough so i usually cook them in pressure cooker and make a curry with little gravy. Aloo added to the mix also tastes good. I think curry will go well with roti or paratha better than with rice.


Sem Ki Phali - 1 1/2 cup , chopped to 1/4 inch pieces
Onion - 1/2 cup, Chopped fine
Tomato - 1/2 cup , chopped fine
Ginger Garlic Paste - 11/2 tsp
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Chilli Pw - 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric Pw - 1/4 tsp
