Guwar-Aloo Sabzi (Cluster Beans)

Guwar Phali aka Cluster beans is classified as a humble vegetable. Toss it with potatoes and it tastes heavenly. This beans doesn’t require a lot of preparation. It can be prepared within no time. Usually I make Guwar-Aloo Sabzi for tiffin (lunch). Serve it with soft ghee phulkas.
