Lima Beans Biryani

Lima Beans Biryani is easy to make one pot meal that’s healthy and filling as well with lima beans, mixed vegetables included in it.

When I was deciding on letter L, I thought of Lobia, Lilva and couldn’t go any further. Suddenly something struck me that I could use Lima Beans as well. These beans are always so confusing. We call something something, when it is actually something else!

That’s exactly what happened. I soaked Double Beans, after reading about beans where it was written that Double Beans are also called as Lima Beans. I went ahead cooked and enjoyed that meal as well when I again checked and landed in confusion.

A quick discussion with my BM buddies told me that I could be wrong. However, it was too late, I was fixed on it and the happiness that comes from striking off one letter is nothing you can understand until you undergo through it.

I love maintaining a spreadsheet, document with lists and recipes all sorted and ready. So as soon as I cook and click, I will be in a hurry to strike out the dish in my list. That makes me soo happy!

Since this was already done, I was not ready to add it back. I decided no matter which one I used, I was going to call this Lima Beans!

Lima Beans Biryani is my choice for L in the AtoZ Biryani/Pulao/Khichdi Festival that’s happening for the April Mega Marathon, where I have opted to make 26 Rice dishes. If you are interested to know what I am doing for L in C4AS, go ahead check it out!
