Until my 30s I found all beans and legumes disgusting, except green beans. I'd eat them if served them but would think to myself "FML this is disgusting." In my 30s I got introduced to some great Indian restaurants by coworkers and it got me to the point where I love them now and try to use them in more and more ways. I just had my first foray with black eyed peas this month. Later this year going to try to make Akara/Koose (a West African fritter made with black eyed peas). I'd love to be like Chetna and have literally a dozen varieties in the pantry but they can be hard to find. I still haven't found fava beans locally yet even! Dr. Lecter would be so displeased :(. Anyway, this is a great run through. I'm going to use it to step up my legume/bean culinary game. #food #cooking #Nigeria #Ghana #India #IndianFood #IndianCooking #PlantBased #legumes
