What is the best way to cook cluster beans (Gawar Phali)?

There are many recipes of Gawar Phali. But based on my experience, Gawar phali sauted either with Garlic or Ajwain (Carrom seeds) tastes well.

Unlike other beans, cluster beans take more time to cook. Hence, when cooking in pan it takes approximately 8-10 mins on medium flame for cluster beans to completely cooked.

In some parts of Maharashtra, a dish called Gawar Chi Bhaji is cooked. In this dish, Gawar phali (Cluster beans) are paired with Peanuts and Garlic chutney for that nutty flavors and spicy touch.
