Guar Ji Bhaji (Cluster Beans)

This is a very simple recipe with no frills and easy to follow and is quick

Cluster bean (we call it Guar in Sindhi) is full of nutrients and it helps control bloodpressure and lower the Cholesterol. 

It is bitter but when boiled and the bitter water discarded, it has sweet taste and makes a very tasty veggie to eat. To get the real taste, minimum  of masalas are used. I have used only 1tsp of Turmeric, 2tsp of Coriander powder and 2tbsp of Pomegranate seeds besides using garlic, chillies and salt. 

Love this veggie so much with just chappatis and a glass of buttermilk and this makes the most satisfying lunch

Method:

1. Wash and chop 250gms cluster beans to bite size and boil it for 15 minutes. 

2. Strain and discard the bitter water. 

3. In pan, add 2tbsp oil. 

4. Add garlic and chilies. 

5. Cook till garlic turn golden brown. 

6. Add the boiled cluster beans. 

7. Mix it lightly.

9. Mix and let it cook for ten minutes.
