Mixed bean curry

I mixed up a few beans : lobia beans, oriental beans, black eyed beans, and green moong(just for the heck of it). Soaked in water for a few hours, the colours looked beautiful while soaking. Simmered in tomato based gravy, they were delicious. Here is how I made it. Ingredients Lobia beans ½ cup Red beans(karamani) ½ cup Oriental beans ¼ cup Moong ½ cup Onion 1 big chopped Tomatoes 2 big chopped Chilli powder 1 tsp Cumin powder ½ tsp Coriander powder 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp Chopped coriander leaves Salt to taste Jeera ½ tsp Saunf ½ tsp Oil 1 tbsp Red beans
	Oriental beans
	Green moong
	Lobia beans
Method Wash and soak the dals for atleast 6 hours. If you don’t have as much time, soak them in sunlight. Once they are soft, wash them again, add cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder, saunf and cook in pressure cooker with 2-3 cups of water. It should be cooked till soft and mashable. In a kadai, heat oil, add jeera, onions and sauté. Once done add the tomatoes and ginger garlic paste, salt and stir for 3-4 mins. Add the cooked beans, adjust salt and water and simmer for few mins. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with chapitis or rice.
