Maharashtrian home cooks add some sprouts, soaked daals or besan/chickpea flour to boost the nutritional value of the vegetables. Green beans are often paired with fresh green peas - when they are in season. However, some crazy combos accidentally get created in my kitchen due to unavailability of the ingredient at that moment or laziness of the cook!;-) I was all set to make green beans + green peas. But a pack of frozen green peas was deep down in the freezer and a pack of frozen soy bean was handy. So rather than diving into the freezer, I opted for green soybeans. It worked deliciously well.
