Fava beans or Lima Beans and very popularly known as Indian Butter Beans are a well rounded source of nutrition like any Beans and are rich in Protiens, Iron, Fibre and Folate. They are rich in Molybdenum and are good sources of Copper and Manganese. They come in fresh varieties, frozen and also dry one's. All are equally good, only thing is that the cooking time differs.
Being an Indian, this one is sure a lovely one to try for Breakfast on any day. Dry one's are easily available in the Supermarkets.
You have to try this if you can get your hands on them.
It's a lovely side dish to go alongside Rotis, Chapatis or Phulkas.
You can make good use of these in many a different ways. Curries, Stir fry or Gravies too. These blend along very well in every dish.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

In a cooking pot, heat ghee and add cumin seeds. After they splutter, add ginger garlic paste and asafoetida.
2

Now add chopped onions and green chillies. Saute until light brown and then add the tomatoes. Cover and saute until soft for 4 to 5 minutes with a lid on.
3

Now add the fresh frozen butter beans along with the grated coconut. Cover and cook until done for almost 20 minutes with a cup of water. If you are using dry beans, then you need to soak them overnight and then pressure cook for 7 to 8 minutes.
4

Check after 20 minutes and if required simmer for a few more minutes. The water would dry up by then and adjust the consistency accordingly. It should be semi thick gravy to go well with rotis and rice both. Garnish with coriander and serve hot.

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.
