GAVARACHYA SHENGACHI BHAJI / CLUSTER BEANS DRY BHAJI



This recipe of mine is originally my Aai’s recipe.  Side dish goes perfect with chapatti or phulka. Cluster beans are good for a diabetics as they have the highest fibre content among all the vegetables which in turn prevents a rapid rise in blood sugar levels after a meal. Traditional vegetables can be cooked in contemporary ways and vice versa. But sometimes, the olden favourite remain our golden choice!

Gavar beans suki bhaji is a lip smacking dry bhaji that combines beautifully with phulkas fresh off the tava. The benefits of fiber-rich cluster beans are enhanced by the introduction of flavouring garlic, which also keeps blood sugar and cholesterol levels under control. Its preparation varies a bit in different parts of India.




INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Cluster Beans [ cut into 1 inch size ]

2 Tbsp Dry Coconut Pieces

1 Tbsp Roasted Peanuts

1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds

8-10 Garlic Cloves

1 Tsp Cumin Seeds

2-3 Tsp Red Chilly Powder

Salt as per taste

2 Tbsp Oil



  METHOD:

STEP 1 – First you have to cook the beans in a covered pan with water for approximately 8-10 minutes. As we have to make dry bhaji so better to cook before.


 STEP 2 – Grind together – coconut, peanuts, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chilly powder and salt in a mixer pot.


STEP 3 – Now for the main process, take a pan with oil, heat the oil and add the powdered masala for the bhaji.

STEP 4 – Cook for 2 minutes stirring continuously. Add the before cooked beans to the pan and mix well.


STEP 5 -  Cook for next few minutes with a lid and stir in between, otherwise it will stick to the bottom. If needed sprinkle a little water and cook.

STEP 6 – Garnish with coriander and serve.
