    Tuvar Sabzi / Winter Special

    Tuvar Lilva is a winter vegetable, it is abundantly available. It makes a good accompaniment with chapati or jowar roti. Kachoris are often made and they taste good. It is often used in sambar along with other vegetables. 

    Tuvar  is mainly cultivated as a legume and is the primary food for the majority of the Indian population. Dal makes a good accompaniment with rice and chapati.

    Today, I have a stir fry and it can be made in 15 minutes if  peeled and kept ready.  What do you make with it? I had shared another variety earlier. 

    Tuvar is known as green pigeon pea and commonly called as Togare kalu in Karnataka and in Kerala as Tomara Payaru. In Europe, it is known as Congo Pea.

    Do you know the best way to store green pea and tuvar? Pour them in a zip lock bag, lock and deep freeze it. It stays good for atleast one month. If you keep it longer, the taste may not be all that good.

    To store green pea for a longer time, it is blanched, dried and then put in deep freezer. 

    Here is another recipe using Tuvar, ideal with chapati.
