I have posted a variety of preparations of Lima beans in this website. This particular recipe is a very old one, passed down the generations. Neeta Pai thank you so much for sharing your grandmother’s recipe. Posting it in my website as per your request. Such recipes are the most precious ones which the Konkani community will ever be grateful for!
Ingredients :
200 gms or one cup of Lima Beans

1 tbsp coriander seeds
9 seeds of Methi/Fenugreek

Method :
Wash and soak the Lima beans for 5 hours. Pressure cook with a little salt till done. Takes approximately five minutes on a gentle flame after the first whistle. Tip it into a pan and drop in the chopped onions.
