Anyway, I got a pack of it in the Indian store and immediately grabbed it, thinking I will try what my mom normally makes with it – an avial or a in a tangy gravy with ground coconut and tomatoes. In the end, I ended up making a quick stir fry of it with elephant yam (chena). The combination turned out to be a winner and we loved it! Pin Clustered Beans Indian-Style with Yam Ingredients:Cluster beans – 2 cups, cut into 1″ piecesYam – 1 cup, cubedCoconut – 4 tbsp, grated (optional)Chopped garlic – 2 tspShallots – 4Coriander powder – 1/2 tspJeera powder – 1/2 tspChilli powder – 1/2 tspSalt – to tasteCoconut oil – 2 tsp How I Made It:
- Cook the cluster beans and yam separately in water till they are tender. Cooking them together will make the yam bitter. The water used to cook the cluster beans should not be used since it will be bitter.
- Heat oil in a pan and lightly fry the garlic and shallots. Then add the coriander, chilly and jeera powders and fry for another 30 seconds.
- Mix in the coconut, yam and beans with some salt and leave it on sim for 4-5 minutes.Serve hot with rice and gravy. Related Posts:Broad Beans with LentilsBeans Carrot ThoranMochakottai SundalBeans UsiliAvial
