Double beans spinach stir fry, Palak double beans dry subzi, and Healthy and delicious fresh double beans palak stir fry recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
I have seen fresh double beans in the market for the first time. Recently when I visited Chennai, I saw these fresh double beans. I have made sundal using dried double beans. I have tried Double beans kurma using dried ones. But for the first time excited to try these fresh ones. I got a bunch of these and made this palak double beans stir fry. I have tried this same recipe with chickpeas many years back. That recipe was published in a popular local magazine.
As we are getting fresh double beans in season, make the best use of winter produce. You can also replace fresh mochai, butter beans, edamame, green peas, or lima beans for this recipe. If you don’t get fresh beans, you can use chickpeas, dried double beans, dried mochai, dried peas, or rajma. Just soak this over night and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles and proceed with the recipe.
