Remove the veins along the edges of all the Guar beans and break them into small pieces with hands. Take 2 cups Guar and wash thoroughly. Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan and add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds. Once they crackle, add a pinch of asfoetida (hing), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and 1 potato cut into small cubes. Stir fry for a minute and add the Guar beans. Add salt and red chili powder to taste. Add 2 tsp Goda/ Kala Masala, 1 tbsp jaggery, and 1/4 cup water. Mix well, cover and let cook for 5 minutes, on a medium flame. If you like, you can add 1 tbsp coarsely ground roasted peanuts* (optional). Add some more water if needed. Cover again and let the beans get completely cooked. Then turn off the gas.
*Roast peanuts in a pan till some black spots start appearing on the outside. Crush a little with hands to separate peels. Blow away the peels and grind the peanuts coarsely.
