.There was this vegetable vendor who comes to my street every day with really really fresh veggies.But since am at 1st floor in my apartment before i could run down after hearing his voive, he would go to the other street.MY kids they neva let me anywhere alone .So if i had to catch a street vendor i had to get them ready as well to go outside.So this day they were sleeping and by the time i heard the vegetable vendor's voice selling Double BEans.I love this healthy seed and wanted to get it right away.So i ran down and got some fresh double beans.And i did mention to the vendor to wait for few mins everyday for me to come pick up veggies from him.So i got fresh beans from which i had to peel the skin to remove the seeds from within.Already i had plans for making jeera rice for lunch and then thought why not give a try with the double bean in the jeera rice.It turned out so well that i couldnt keep the recipe within myself without sharing it.SUCH AN HEALTHY FOOD FOR THE KIDS...my kids enjoyed it.
