How To Cook Flat Green Beans in the Instant Pot

Hello Foodies,

Healthy, flavorful, crunchy, and tender Flat Beans Stir Fry/Curry or Ghevdyachi Bhaji made in an instant pot. This bean’s recipe with garlic and onion is a simple but very flavorful side dish for chapati or Bhakri. Beans are low in calories and high in fiber which makes them perfect for a healthy and balanced diet. Make sure to always cook, sauté, or steam the beans since they cannot be eaten raw.

Vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. And they are at their freshest, tastiest, and most nutritious when they are in season and locally grown. I usually buy my vegetables from the local farmer’s market. But I can’t find a few Indian vegetables there, so I buy them from Indian grocery stores. I highly recommend to buy and eat organic and fresh winter vegetables, if possible.

Which Beans I have used?

I have used Flat Beans. It is also known as Hyacinth bean, Lablab-bean, Flat Hyacinth Bean, or a flatter version of Hyacinth Bean. Also known as Sem, Sheem, and Val Papdi in other parts of India and as Lablab beans, Flat beans, and Indian beans in English, they grow on thick vines with broad leaves and thrive in hot climates. In Marathi, it is known as Ghevdyachya Shenga. In Telugu, it is known as Avarakkai.
This popular bean produces light green pods, wrinkled with a bulge in the center, fleshy & tender, and eaten freshly sauteed with spices and onions.
These beans are a great source of dietary fiber, protein, Vit A, B1, and B2.
