When it comes to this vegetable I have fond memories. My dad’s sister who lives in Mamoodu, in Kerala was having its cultivation. When I went there I too joined with my aunt to pluck the beans. My aunt cooked it on the same day. Today I am sharing her recipe here. My mom was having cultivation of this vegetable earlier on the terrace of our building. That time also I used to pluck it. Somebody putting all the effort and then simply plucking its fruit is quite an easy and lovely job, isn’t it?
