Fresh Double Beans Curry

Hi Friends


When I went to Bangalore to attend Function in my sister-in-law's house, I have seen fresh double beans in the market, tempted and I brought them to Hyderabad. Long back I have tasted these fresh double beans. I thought of preparing curry with a combination of potato.

OK. Let us go to prepare these healthy fresh double beans.

Ingredients
  • Fresh Double Beans       1/4 kg
  • Potato                             2
  • Tomato                           2
  • Onion                             1 big size
  • Turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil
For Paste
  • Kuskus                          1 tbsp
  • Coriander seeds            1 tbsp
  • Cumin seeds                  1/4 tbsp
  • Garlic                            4 pods
  • Dry red chillies              5
  • Elachi                            1" piece
  • Cloves                           2



How I did it
  1. Wash and pressure cook double beans and potato till 3 whistles. Don't cook more. Otherwise double beans turns mushy.
  2. Mean time wash and boil tomatoes for 3 to 4 minutes. Let it cool. Grind it and strain it and keep aside.
  3. Take big onion, burn it on open flame. Let it cool, Remove the skin.
  4. Grind all ingredients shown above 'for paste' along with brunt onion into smooth paste.
  5. After pressure releases open the cooker , remove the skin of potato and cut into cubes.
  6. Take a wok. Add little oil. Let it heat.
  7. Add mustard seeds. Let them pop.Then add turmeric powder.
  8. Then add ground paste.Add little water and tomato puree, cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  9. Finally add boiled double beans and potato cubes and salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  10. Consistency depends on your serving style.
  11. See the taste and transfer into a serving bowl.
It goes well with rice,roti and dosa also.


My Note

  • Instead of tomato you can use tamarind pulp.
  • If interested add pudina also.
