These beans & peas don’t need to be fresh ones. Using frozen beans & peas, you can cook this dish whenever you want to. I love Broad Beans. The very first version of this dish was made with Broad Beans only. But I started adding Peas and Edamame (Young Soy Beans) to make it look prettier. Then I added a secret ingredient, that has brought this dish to the next level.
