Crunchy & Nutrient-Dense: Fresh Cluster Beans, Available at MalabarMart.co.uk
Add a touch of authentic texture and nutrition to your kitchen with Fresh Cluster Beans, a cherished legume in South Asian households. Known as Kothamara (കൊത്തമര) in Malayalam and Gawar Phali (ग्वार फली) in Hindi, these slender green pods are famous for their firm, crunchy bite and a unique savoury-savory profile with a hint of bitterness. Whether you are tempering them with mustard seeds for a traditional Kothamara Mezhukkupuratti or cooking up a spicy Gawar Aloo Sabzi, our cluster beans provide the perfect snap. To ensure you receive tender, young pods that are free from excessive fibre and stringiness, always trust Malabar Mart for your fresh vegetable delivery.
Product Details & Culinary Experience:
Appearance: Vibrant, narrow green pods that grow in clusters, carefully sorted for the Malabar Mart quality seal.
Flavour Profile: Mildly earthy and savoury; the slight natural bitterness is prized by connoisseurs and can be softened by sautéing with coconut or jaggery.
Top Culinary Uses: Ideal for dry stir-fries, stews, and traditional Indian Kootu. In North Indian cuisine, they are a star ingredient for Gawar ki Phali.
Storage Advice: These are fresh, perishable greens. Keep your Malabar Mart cluster beans refrigerated in a perforated bag to maintain their crispness for up to a week.
Preparation Tip: Simply trim the ends and cut into 1-inch pieces. For the best flavour, sauté them with plenty of garlic and ginger.
