Potato - Lima Beans Fry
Who doesn't love Potato Fry? It's a simple yet classic dish. Normally I wouldn't want to change it too much except for maybe adding some sliced onion or some ginger garlic paste to it, if at all I get bored with it. But this time, I decided to add some baby lima beans to add some protein and fiber to this hot favorite.
POTATO - LIMA BEANS FRY
Ingredients:
Potatoes - 2, boiled, peeled and cut into chunks
Baby Lima Beans - 1 cup
Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Sambar Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt, to taste
Method:
1) I prefer to refrigerate the boiled potatoes before cutting them. They hold their shape better that way. Microwave the Lima beans with 1/4 cup water and salt for about 10-15 minutes till soft.
2) In a deep skillet, add the oil and immediately add the powders. Seconds later, add the potato cubes and mix well. Add the Lima beans as well and let the spices coat everything. Cover and keep on medium flame for about 10-15 minutes. Remove the cover and let it cook until it browns and gets crispy.

Slurp!! Excellent Laavanya!:))
ReplyDeletePotatoes in any form...I love it. Especially this, with lima beans is an absolute yummy curry. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYumm... Delicious.. perfect with hot rotis :)
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes:) Would go so well with some rasam.
ReplyDeleteThe adddition of lima beans does add a lot of protein to the dish not to mention the cholesterol lowering fibre.
Laavanya, I just loved this recipe,thx!
ReplyDeleteI luv this combo, and this would be perfect with rice and sambar.
ReplyDeletedo u use frozen lima?
ReplyDeletesuch a flavorful & quick to make dish, slurrrp ;)
yumm..love potatoes..will try the lima combo...
ReplyDeleteaaahaaaha.....Vedi vedi annam...eee koora.....aaaha naa Raja :-))))
ReplyDeleteNice one lavs :-))
Is it fresh lima beans? or frozen? Looks so good!
ReplyDeletethese day I too cook a lot of lima:) today I did stir fry like in Viji's blog. your combi is fantastic. BTW I tried your microwave tindora. it came out well but was a little dry. what should I do about that?
ReplyDeleteThank you Asha.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Kribha, Quite a few of us have a weakness for potatoes.
Thank you Cinnamon.
Yes TBC, we did have it with rasam... :)
Thank you Bindiya
Rina, this combo did taste very good.
Richa, yes I used the frozen baby lima beans. I find the fordhook to be too large.
Rajitha, I hope you try.
Thank you Sirisha :)
Thank you RP! I used frozen...
Sharmi, I will try out Viji's stir fry. Nice to hear you tried out the microwave tindora... As for it turning dry, maybe you can reduce the cooking time and also keep it covered so it doesn't dry out. Hope that's helpful. Thanks for trying and letting me know Sharmi.
That looks so good, I love the combo
ReplyDeleteGreat combo of Potato & Lima beans...Nice Recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea of pairing my potatoes with beans the next time I fry them.
ReplyDeleteTrue Every body love potato fry.
ReplyDeleteYours is looking super delicious.
looks yummy
ReplyDeleteLaavanya, regarding the sago pudding, sago does not overpower the pudding at all. If it is thick you can add milk. no problem with that!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea, Laavanya. Bangaladumpa vepudu is a firm favorite in the house, and I have often wondered how to add some protein to it.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I think we might work for the same company :-)
