Lima beans and eggplants are one of my all time favorite vegetable combinations.It is a real comforting, but also a healthy. This pavta [Lima beans] is very high in protein and fiber but low in fat.

Lima beans have a velvety texture and rich, savoury, almost buttery flavour. Lima bean and brinjal curry goes well with rice, roti or paratha.

I am sharing my whole process of making Lima beans and brinjal curry /subji recipe.
