Vaal
Sometimes called 'butter beans' because of its starchy and buttery texture, vaal has a delicate flavour that complements a wide variety of dishes. You will find them in various shapes and sizes, ranging from creamish flat long beans, broad hard beans to off white oval shaped dal. This versatile ingredient finds its way commonly in Maharashtrian, Gujarathi and Parsi kitchens in traditional recipes like Vangi ani Val, Dalimbi, Walor muthia nu shaak, Tittori dal etc.
