Equipment

1 Non stick pan
1 small tadka pan

Ingredients

3½ cups chopped guvar (gawar, cluster beans) 380g
2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 tsp red chili powder
½ tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin coriander powder (dhana jeeru)
1 tsp sugar
3 tbsp oil
1 tsp caraway seeds (ajmo, ajwain)
½ tsp asafetida (hing)
2 cloves garlic optional, finely chopped

Instructions

Put chopped guvar/gawar in a pan with water and salt. Turn gas on to medium. Mix, cover and let cook about 8-10 minutes. Mixing once or twice in between.
Once guvar are fork tender turn gas to low-medium. Add red chili powder, turmeric, cumin coriander powder and sugar. Don't mix, you will pour tadka on top of the spices.
Make tadka: On a separate burner, heat oil on medium-high. Add ajwain (caraway seeds). Let them begin to "swim" around and cook which will take about 2-3 minutes. If adding optional garlic then add now. Then add asafetida (hing) and turn off gas.
Pour the tadka on top of the spices (this helps bring more flavor). Mix well and let cook on medium-low for 2-3 minutes.
Optionally top with chopped coriander/cilantro.
