Fresh Kidney Beans Curry


I saw weirdly speckled pods next to the green beans at local market this week. The sign said "fresh pinto beans" (Kidney beans) . I love kidney beans and they too very fresh! So I bought this fresh pinto beans in shell  from Market. 
They provide antioxidant effects, give you energy, and provide fat-free high quality protein, fiber, vitamins, iron, folate magnesium etc etc. Fresh rajma beans tastes much better than the dried one and cooks faster also. Here’s a delicious and tasty quick vegetarian curry.

Ingredients:

Pinto Beans/ Red Kidney Beans – 1 cup
Coconut - 3 tbsp
 Salt - as required
Dhania-jeera powder (coriander-cumin) - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder-1/2 tsp
Coconut - To Garnish
To Season:
 Oil- 1 tbsp
 Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
 Urud Dhal - 1/2 tsp
 Red Chilli – 1
Curry leaves-few
Method:
1. Wash and clean the beans and cook in water for at least half an hour.
2. Decant the water and let stand for a few minutes.
3. Then take a pan and add oil.
4. Once it gets heaten up, add mustard seeds it splutters  add urud dhal red chilli and saute them.
