Ganwar Falli

Ganwar Falli, also widely known as Cluster Beans (or Guar Phali), is a popular dry vegetable in Indian cuisine, particularly valued for its unique taste, versatility, and nutritional benefits. These slender, elongated beans are often sun-dried to preserve them, allowing for year-round consumption, especially in regions where fresh produce might be seasonal or scarce. When dried, they develop a more concentrated flavor and a chewy texture once rehydrated and cooked. Ganwar Falli is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to meals. It is commonly used in dry curries (sabzis), often prepared with minimal spices to allow the distinct flavor of the beans to shine through, and can also be found in snack forms like "kachri" which are fried after being sun-dried.
