Cauliflower Red Beans Curry

This a very last minute side dish . Cauliflower should be always cooked very carefully since overcooking tends to let out a bad smell. Also the curry tends to be very mushy. So when ever I cook cauliflower I soak in boiling water instead of directly boiling in water and let rest of the cooking in the end. Also the red beans and cauliflower is a good combination.





Ingredients


Cauliflower - 2 cups(florets)
Red beans - 1/2 cup
Onion -1
Tomato - 2 medium
Coriander pdr - 1 tsp
Amchur pdr - 1 tsp
ginger - medium piece
green chillies - 2
salt to taste
Ghee - 2 tsp

Method

Soak the red beans for 4-6 hrs. pressure cook it adding little salt.


Boil water . Add salt and put the floretts . let it sit for 7-8 mnts. Then drain it.


Grind the ginger and green chillies into paste.


In a pan add 2 tsp ghee. Add the cut onions and fry it. Add ggpaste and cauliflower to it. Fry it till a light brown coating appears on the cauliflower. Add the coriander and amchur pdr and tomatoes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook it in medium flame covering it 3/4th for 5-7 mnts. Add salt if necessary.


Garnish it with corianderleaves or parsely.
