I love Field beans esp in eggplant sambar. When I was in India we used to get this during Pongal season. My mum told me these days we get it almost everyday. So I asked her to bring some when she visited a few days ago. I wanted to try mochai fry but the beans were too small. So I decided to try some gravy for Chapathi / roti. This recipe doesn’t contain ginger, onion or Tomatoes. It came out very well. This can go well with steamed rice too
