Here comes a "Healthy Evening Snack" for your kids.
I made this snack yesterday evening for my daughter. When she finished her snack, her proud mom( that's me) was sitting next to her thinking about the next healthy snack...;)

Beans are very healthy and there are much vitamins in. But don't they get 'killed' after preparing them this way? What's the nutritious value of the dish after they get fried?

Hi Meg, 
Thank u so much for reading my recipe & leaving your comment.
Actually the bengal gram flour outside is fried in oil not the vegetable which is inside the bajji. The green bean still remains green and retains its quality & vitamins. :-)
