Broad Beans curry with White sesame paste

Bongs are mostly known as "Foodies" and well known for their innovative dishes, be it some experiment with fish or other non-veg recipes or be it purely veg recipes without onion garlic. In my childhood, I have seen my mom and Pishimoni doing all kinds of experiments in the kitchen with vegetables, hence today I thought of doing something new with a very boring (Boring because I dont like this vegetable - braodbeans or sheem). But I am happy with the end result of the experiment done by me. Sharing the easy and quick recipe for the same, do try this and share your feedback. 

Ingredients:

  1. Broad beans or Sheem - 500 gram
  2. Salt to taste
  3. White sesame seeds - 2 tsp

  5. Dry red chilli - 1
  6. Nigella seeds or Kalonji - 1/2 tsp
  7. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tea spoon
  8. Mustard oil for cooking
  9. Green chilli - 2 (slit)
Process:

1. To start with, cut the broad beans into halves and wash them properly. Sprinkle some turmeric powder and salt and marinate the veggies.
2. Make a paste of white sesame seeds adding the cashew nuts and a little water. 
3. Now heat oil in a frying pan and add the nigella seeds and dry red chilli, sauté for 1 min and add the broad beans. Shallow fry for 2-3 minutes in low flame.
