Gavarfali (cluster beans) are rich in iron, folic acid, calcium and are an excellent source of fibre. All these are very important nutrients and are present in good quantities in this humble vegetable. This Rajasthani recipe is very healthy and delicious too!! The addition of curds enhances the calcium as well as the protein levels of the recipe.
