Rajma Butter Beans salad

My family is ever evolving!
Veggies that were  most hated is now finally on the home menu. Sometimes, it is good to know if there are any more recipes that are still to be found . I know i have to upload a lot that the blog is lagging behind .. and i have not uploaded on my social media and InShaAllah, I am working on it as it is  time consuming. Anyway, one of them that my Mom has recently been so addicted to was this new recipe ..
Very addictive and simple indeed.
No wonder my kids started having them .
It's very difficult to keep pace with exact nutrients that kids must have .
They hate pulses and beans ...but now this is just what they loved . As long they dwmand for it i am enjoying the fact that are enjoying it too.
We all are salad lovers and ao i was glad when umma said she just mix and matched a few leftovers and found a new recipe.

Coming back to the our salad section ,this is  something mom make regularly. Even though at first zam didnt like it later he just wanted to have for dinner and  loved it . Now i dont have to worry about whether my kids having the right portion plate. While trying to balance everybody’s diet  , this dish becomes a winner for all . I use just store bought beans to make this, no particular brand . Soak overnight  and pressure cook them . I usually pressure cook in large amounts and freeze them and use as when needed. The best part is just tossing everything into the bowl along with a little spice powders that  adds a lot of flavor. The ingredient that brings all in flavor are the green chillies and  black pepper.
Another hinter . I must say its a stress free buster for all working moms . When i come home all messed up and tired .. this is one bowl of homemade goodness that i wait for .. not always but most of the time..
