Dalimbyacha (Vaalacha) Bhaat is a quintessential rice preparation from coastal Maharashtra made using field bean (Vaal) sprouts. Making the sprouts needs some preparation. The beans are soaked in water, sprouted and then its peel needs to be removed before you can use them. This slightly laborious process of removing the peel was in fact looked at as a family bonding time in our house. Now-a-days the sprouts are easily available at the local vendors selling sprouts/pulses in the sabji market. The beans have a distinct bitter sweet taste and this no onion/garlic rice preparation is part of many festivities. You can either use the Maharashtrian Goda masala or the instant masala mix (given in the recipe) to flavor the rice.
