Broad Bean Seeds Masala

To make this recipe we can either purchase de-seeded broad beans or bulgy seeded broad beans. Bigger the seed, the tastier the recipe. Although it takes time to cook, it tastes great when accompanied with steamed rice.

Usually, the skin of the bean has nutritional values. If you feel it’s dark in colour and doesn’t like it, remove the skin once boiled, beans come out by squeezing them. We have not removed the skin so we have added them directly and boiled them for 15 minutes in the curry.

Tips to make perfect broad bean seeds masala:

  • While purchasing fresh broad bean seeds from the market check for separate seeds.
  • In local markets, once broad beans lose their tenderness, seeds come out so they remove the seeds and sell at a low price.
  • We can boil beans and add them to masala curry or if you feel they are tender we can directly add them to curry and cook for 15 minutes.
