How to make Gawar phali ki sabji/cluster beans sabzi
Guar or Gawar phali/cluster beans is a type of bean vegetable, available in most parts of India. This bean has a unique taste of its own. Stir frying or combining with onion and tomato or merging the taste with grounded peanuts tastes good in any way. Make this Gawar phali ki sabji for lunch or dinner. My Gawar phali/cluster beans ki sabji recipe is by combining it with grounded peanut.
Gawar or gaur phali/cluster beans are available in two varieties, one is hybrid form and the other is generally found in village side called Desi variety. The hybrid form, which we generally eat, is easily available in the market. It takes more time to cook as it has thick skin. The other variety is more flavorful and comparatively takes less cooking time.
