In every day cooking, curry plays a vital role. Flavorful, tasty and innovative curries are always welcomed by my family. So I keep an eye on curries that can be whipped up with little tasty twist. Beans curry is one such curry that stands out from my regular curry recipes. Do you remember Malabar spinach curry? That is how my normal curry would be.
Let me tell you frankly, this beans curry is quite different. It has the blend of spices like coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds and green chillies with fresh coconut. These spices are roasted in medium flame and ground to fine paste. This masala is the key taste provider to curry.
The recipe of this beans curry is applicable to mixed vegetables and greens too. Meaning, if you replace beans and substitute it with mixed vegetables or simply greens, the curry tastes too good. You need to try this to believe.
