Fava Beans also known as the Broad Beans are a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. I have already shared Ful Medames or the mashed Fava Beans dish popular in the Arab Peninsula on this wonderful platform.

Today iam sharing a simple Stew made in Indian style with some commonly used powdered spices. The best part is that it gets done pretty much quickly as it is a canned variety that iam using here. And that is why it is very much important to remember that use of Salt should be minimal.
As a fresh Vegetable this adds a hearty taste to Minestrone and Herbed Dips. These Beans are bright Green in colour with creamy Yellow pods. As they get older, the Beans get much darker Green including the pods. The pods are used in Stews and Vegetable Salads. These can be added to your favourite recipes or can be just tossed in some Olive Oil and used in Salads and Soups or even in Dips.

Steps

In a cooking pot, heat oil. To this add chopped garlic and onion. Saute this on a low to medium high heat. Drain and wash the beans with water. Keep aside until use. Once the onion gets slightly brown, add the chopped tomatoes. Cook until soft and mushy.

Next is to add the fava beans followed by the powdered spices. After 10-12 minutes of simmering with a lid on, adjust salt as needed. The beans are not whole and intact as they are canned. As it simmers, the stew becomes so very thick and mushy. That's it
3

Garnish with chopped parsley or coriander if desired. Serve hot alongside rotis or chapatis. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
