What is Edamame?? Well ok ! its time to learn little Japanese, edamame are baby Soy beans in pods (Japanese to English) (Eda~twig, mame~beans) meaning beans attached to pods. These come under protein rich healthy food category and why not try it.
Where to find it ? Regular Super market frozen aisle, I found it at Meijers. Japanese or Chinese stores should carry fresh and frozen.

This is one of my favourite item. I like my mom's style preparation the most. I feel Grands, Surya or Krishna Sweets for that matter doesnt match this taste. This preparation does not require ripe banana in the recipe. This is an traditional home preparation, going by my great grand mom's instructions.
