Sugar Beans Curry
Sugar beans curry for me is always the perfect meat free dish. For the best sugar beans always pressure cook your beans first, I used my kenwood pressure cooker. It always give you the right consistency for your gravy. Definitely some soft melting potatoes and the right spices. Remember you can adjust the spices accordingly as the below are estimated quantities.

  3. Now add the onions, green chilies, curry leaves and ginger and garlic. Leaving it to cook till onions are soft.
  4. Once onions are soft add your masala powders. Sautéing for a few seconds. Pour a little water to prevent burning. Now add potatoes and coat well with masala. Pouring about 1/4 to 1/2 cup boiled water just to let potatoes cook a little.
