घेवडा
The Marathi word for beans is घेवडा.
Did you know?
- Many types of legumes in India are categorized by their use in 'dal' (lentils), while घेवडा is categorized as a 'shaak' (vegetable).
- In some rural Marathi contexts, the act of shelling घेवडा is a common social activity where families gather to prepare the vegetable for the day's meal.
- In many Maharashtrian households, the term घेवडा refers specifically to cluster beans rather than a generic category of beans.
