A local variant of Fava Beans: cooking was easier than finding its name!
A type of beans or vegetable used to cook in our home from my childhood but I was not aware of its actual name. This is a type of bean that comes in the winter season and have some distinct features and taste. When I saw this in the market I bought it decided to cook in my own way. I remember in my childhood my mother used to cook it and add curd but being a vegan I cooked in a different way.
As I was not sure about its name I started to find its name from the vendor, she called it Bakla (बाकला) Beans, I heard this name the first time. Then I asked in a Facebook group and got some responses, that was Dhamoka/Dhamuka (धमोका/धमूका) Beans and also Bakla Beans. My mom called it Kalmuhi Fali (Blackmouth Beans काले मुहं की फली ), okay..then I messaged my friend and his response was totally different that was Undara Gwar (उंदारा ग्वार)
Now it was getting more interesting to find its name rather than cooking it. Now I took help from Google and searched by Dhamoka Fali and found so many results including photographs and how to cook it. The pictures showing was similar to what I have. Its English name was showing Fava Beans but that was also not similar in looking with my beans.
After this much exercise to discover the name I found that it is a local variant of Fava Beans and known as a different name in the local language.
Do you have this vegetable available? What do you call it?
Whatever the name let's cook it!

The procedure is almost the same as cooking any other vegetables. Wash and cut the beans and other fresh ingredients. Heat oil in a pan and add all spices, saute for a while and cook vegetable in it. Add water as required.
