Chikkudukaaya Curry (Broadbeans Curry)

As my Husband is on business trip this entire week, I am not cooking anything elaborate these days and so I am preparing simple and easy dishes for me and clearing off the vegetables that I have in fridge.Believe me I am not spending more than half an hour in the kitchen for the entire day.Bread,Dosa(batter I prepared in a huge vessel),simple rice and sabzi,Maggi have become my daily food these days.I am sharing you one such simple chikkudukaaya sabzi that I have prepared recently.Even though it is bit time consuming,it does not require constant attention from us.
