Sweet Beans

My mom used to make a meal of sweet beans for us, and we would have it with Arabic bread. During the quarantine, I thought about making it. Since I didn’t have the Arabic bread and it was a difficult time to get out for unnecessary stuff, I thought about eating it with white rice. I cooked the rice with only cloves and cardamom, which made it very tasty.
