Ghee Roast Double Beans

Ghee Roast Double Beans

Ghee is Clarified Butter. Double Beans is available throughout the year in all big Veggie Stores. Double Beans is also available in big Super Markets in  packets just like our White Channa in a dry form. There are 2 varieties of Double Beans , White Double Beans and the Red tinged Double Beans. Today, I have used the Dry Red Tinged Double Beans( Dried Double Beans). ( Soak the dry Double Beans in sufficient water. Cover it and leave it to soak overnight. Next morning wash it well in couple of changes of water. Pressure cook the Double Beans in sufficient quantity of water. After 5 whistles, sim the flame and cook for 10 minutes. If using fresh Double Beans pressure cook in sufficient quantity of water for 3 whistles and sim the flame and cook for 5 minutes. ) Goes well with  Vegetable rice, Mixed rice varieties,Sambar rice, Rasam rice , Veg Biriyani and Curd rice. Do try and enjoy with your family.

Chef’s Tips

1) After adding the lime juice, do not heat the Double Beans. The taste will change.

2) Can also add little finely chopped green coriander leaves in the end.
