Gavaarichi Bhaji, vegetable made out of Cluster Beans and Niger Seeds.

Ingredients

250 gms gavaar or cluster beans, cleaned and roughly broken into pieces as shown in the picture, with very little water, pressure cooked to only one whistle
1/2 cup niger seeds, in marathi they are called kaarla,they are small black long seeds and we use them to make dry chutney powder
2 table spoons of grated jaggery
Salt to taste
Chilli powder to taste
1 tea spoon goda masala

Method

In a kadhai take little oil, add mustard seeds once they crackle add a pinch of asafoetida and a small spoon of turmeric powder. Then add the cluster beans, stir for a bit and add all other ingredients and cook covered. Does not take too long because the beans are already cooked, you only need to see that all the ingredients mix well, the jaggery melts and you get an aroma of the cooked vegetable. Now it is ready to be served garinshed with fresh coriander, with hot rotis.
