Cauliflower with Lima Beans

Cauliflower by itself can sometimes be a little boring.... and at such times, Lima beans come to the rescue! Lima beans have a delicate flavour that complements any dish. Also, they are a good source of protien and cholesterol-lowering fiber. Here is a simple fry that is quick & easy, for one of those lazy days!

Recipe

Cauliflower florets, of 1 whole Cauliflower

1/2 cup baby lima beans

1 medium onion, chopped into small pieces

1 dried red chillie, broken into pieces

1/4 tsp cumin seeds

3 garlic cloves, minced

6 curry leaves

salt, turmeric, chillie powder, masala powder

2 tbsp oil

chopped coriander leaves

• Heat oil in a wide skillet, add seasoning of red chillie, cumin seeds
• Add chopped onion, curry leaves, garlic and let fry until onion turns translucent
• Add lima beans, cauliflower florets, turmeric & salt, mix well
• Cover & cook for 5-8 minutes, remove the cover and let fry on medium-high until done (& until all moisture is evaporated)
• Add masala powder & red chillie powder (quantities to suit your palate), mix and saute for a couple of minutes
• Turn the stove off, add chopped coriander leaves & mix

Serve with chapathis/rotis. Equally good with rice!
