#indiankitchen - This is a traditional Maharashtrian style cluster beans curry. It is very common in many Maharashtrian household and goes well with any Indian bread. The unique flavour of this dish comes from the use of goda masala, a typical Maharashtrian spice mix that is generally used in many dishes.

This side dish can be cooked with or without onion as per individual preference. It is a simple, no-fuss, purely vegetarian dish with a very mild and nutty flavour coming from the peanuts. #goldenapron
