ಆರೋಗ್ಯಕರ ಹಾಗೂ ರುಚಿಕರವಾದ ಬೀನ್ಸ್ ಕಾಳಿನ ಹುಳಿ. Beans Pod Curry.

Beans season is here and they grow well in rainy season and winter. 

Beans have already turned as Pods and they are in the market. Raw pods are very healthy and you can use them in your cooking.

We had been R.T. O. (Regional Transport Office in Yelahanka. It has shifted to very interior village near by.  My hubby had to renew his driving license. After the procedure is over while coming back I saw many people near by a village have spread what ever they have grown. Just stopped and got some this beans pods with its cover and came home.

So the task of removing the pods and washing then again drying them under the fan at last keeping them in the freezer is done. There were nearly 3 kg beans and 2 kg field beans I got.

That is really so much. So before freezing I did cook many curries, palav etc.

This is one of it and it is always good to eat seasonal vegetables and fruits always.

Coming back to this Curry let me explain How did I cook this curry.

I have used Beans pods which are sprouted. As I said I kept some beans to use before freezing. In the morning I could see the sprout. So I left them to be more sprouted. 

You can see this sprouted beans. Its kept for 2 days to sprout this much. 

Drain the water completely and then put them in a bowl, leave it for a while and then sprinkle some water on them twice a day. Then you will see this wonderful sprouts.

Sprouts are just days old and on the way to germinate.  They are said to be more nutritious and healthier to eat. It eliminates gas producing starch and lessens the cooking time of legumes and pulses. It is good for digestion and weight loss. Good for blood circulation and immunity to our body. It is good for heart health and skin health.
