Lima Beans Curry

Lima Beans are also called as Butter Beans.. this is a healthy bean that gives out a number of variety dishes which I am still learning :) I have tried a curry with it for now. The recipe is very simple to keep as any other regular curries, but just because of these beans, there is a huge variation in the taste of the curry. This bean is very very low in Saturated fat and cholesterol and is very very high in Protein and Dietary fiber. This is also a very good source of Vitamin C. Yet to try out the variety recipes of Lima Beans.. will try to get you more and more dishes with this Healthy Bean.
