Broad Beans Gravy


Skipping Dal on meals is not likable for all
But always consuming Dal is also felt boring. 
So here is another dish, mostly we prepare in summer ,because of its spicy ,tangy, soury, and mild sweetness of this gravy gollapes the rice balls into our mouth.

Once we taste it we will forget about the Dal.
You can also keep this in refrigerator for next day because it will not stale  and the taste is much better than the previous day.
