Semi Lima beans fry with potato

Semi (or Shimba/Simaa in Odia) is a winter Bean ( Lima beans) and usually the tender beans and their seeds both are eaten . This bean has proteinaceous seeds. It's mostly fried with grated coconut/in mixed vegetables and dal. In Odisha we also cook this vegetable in a very simple way and named as "Shimba bhaja santula". Here Shimba is parboiled with potato and then tempered with dry chilli and mustard seeds. It's easy and simple but the taste is awesome. My family love to eat this dry curry as such.
