The guar bean or cluster bean which is known as kothavarangai in Tamil/ Telugu - Mattikaya/ Hindi - Guvar. This is my mom's dish and I know most of the Tamilians would be knowing about this dish . But there is a bit change in what we do it here. My husband comment was, ' I am very much satisfied as if I had an non-veg dish. Good compliment isn't it ;)
