Our first encounter with Baked beans was during our stay in Maldives. Till then we had only heard of them as an American breakfast. I fell in love with them instantly. Since then I have been wanting to try them at home.
The other day as we walked down the regular food store, my eyes fell on these Lima beans. I immediately picked them, not thinking once how I would go about with the recipe. It's only after a couple of researches online, I zeroed to making this for our breakfast.

ReplyDeleteHi Ankita, look out for Butter beans. You can use them instead of Lima beans. Butter beans are commonly available and I have seen them in Food World.
