Gavarfali ki sabzi recipe - Cluster beans sabzi

Gavarfali ki sabzi recipe - A simple side dish prepared with humble and down to earth cluster beans. It is good source of dietary fibers. Being rich in fiber it digests slowly and helps in weight loss. Fibers help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Cluster beans are slightly bitter in taste, but the addition of coconut and jaggery reduces the bitterness of cluster beans in the sabzi. This sabzi is usually served with roti, chapati or rice and curry. I personally like to have it with rice.
