They have a strong bean smell and flat taste. Green beans definitely win when it comes to taste. They turned to khaki green on blanching. Aparna: I haven't tried jicama yet. But I remember seeing few salad recipes at fellow food bloggers place. Try "Food blogs-world" search on M.foodblog list page. Good luck. Bee: thanks for the purple philosophy.:) Timepass time travels?:) Yes, it was ok-delicious. aa: Recently one of our friends sent goda masala, India made. So now, it's all goda masala, all the time at my home.:) Hi Vijaya: Congratualtions on your new blog! Keep up the good work and all the best! Spandana: Purple beans have a completely different taste and they are not like our chikkudu kaya(broad beans) of Andhra. Even the seeds tasted soya beanish. Hi Priya: I usually prepare neivedyam on festival day, so it may not be possible for me to blog them beforehand. Sorry. Sandhya: That seems like a good idea. When I buy a videocamera, I will. Thanks. Rajitha: They have man-made coloring, I guess that’s why the color is so superficial.

We had that plant in our house and even though we ate it every other day, we never got tired. Since we had a so many beans growing we made it in every possible combination never with goda masala though. Looks yummy. Reminds me of my childhood. Indira,

The texture of the raita seems to complement the beans sabji beautifully (both in the pic, and on the tongue in my imagination) I tried purple beans recently…I got a mixed lot of purple, yellow and green beans…the taste is far less exciting than the colour in my opinion…but the experience is fun nevertheless…(I too was a tad disappointed when all three beans came out the same khakhi shade :( )

You are introducing us to new/varied vegetables. I have never seen purple beans - but I am in VA ..pch!! and Thanks for the link to the scientific meaning. I am wondering why egg plant doesnt change that much..? On another matter, did you ever try cooking Jicama? I would like any ideas please. When I first came to US i thught it was like "kandha dumpa" (telugu) and fried it ..it was a yuck! still trying to figure out. Lovely Pictures and narration as usual :) I wish i can drive by to grab that Thali! Best, -Aparna Kudos Indira. You are introducing us to new/varied vegetables.
