Phataphat gawarfali (clustered beans)

I named the recipe as phataphat,because you cook this in a jiffy in a pressure cooker and not much preparation is required. I serve it in the lunchbox for hubby dear and so it has to be made fast with so many work to do in the morning. Best served with paranthas. I prefer chopping them previous night,as chopping early morning can be tedious and time consuming. I also grate the coconut in the night only.
Ideally gawarfali has a slight bitter taste as compared to beans,but somehow that bitterness actually enhances it's taste.
So here it is,hope you make them in your kitchen and enjoy eating it too.

2. Tomato - 3 medium size ( chopped)
