Today’s recipe is French beans fry. There is a vegetable called ” chikkudukaya” which most Telugu people know about. Even though it is sometimes available in Indian stores it is very expensive. So i think i found an alternative to this. I use canned french beans and Indian Lima beans to prepare this.
