Mixed Beans Curry

I had this packet of mixed Beans(pinto,blackeye,kidney,White,red,splitpea,lentil) to make Bean soup. I made it once , but was not a big fan. So I thought why not make a dish similar to Rajma. I changed the ingredients a little and here it is for you to check it out.



Ingredients

Mixed beans – 1 cup
Onion – 1
Tomato – 1
Coriander seeds – 1 tsp
Cumin seeds -1 tsp
Turmeric pdr – ¼ tsp
Sauf – 1tsp
Garlic – 2 cloves
Redchilli – 1
Curry leaf -7-8 nos
Oil- 2 tsp
Salt to taste

Method

1. Soak the beans for 4hrs.
   Pressure cook it adding little salt. Drain and keep it aside after cooking. Keep the drained water.
2. In a pan add 1 tsp oil. Cut onions and add it. When it is lightly fried add garlic, coriander,cumin, sauf, redchilli, 4 curry leaves to it. Fry it lightly. Grind it in the mixie.
3. Add 1 tsp oil in the pan. When the oil is hot add rest of the curry leaves. Cut the tomato and add it to the hot oil. Fry it till soft. Add turmeric pdr.
4. Then add the ground mixture and fry it.
5. Then add the cooked beans.Add water . Add salt to taste.
6. Cook it in low flame for 10 mnts keeping it closed.

This goes well with plain rice and chappathis.
