Easy Kidney Beans Cooker Curry

  • Take a small pressure cooker pan and heat it for couple of minutes
  • add 3tsp of oil to the pan and season the oil with 1 tsp of mustard seeds
  • after the seeds splutter add 1 tsp of fennel seeds, 1 spring of curry leaves, 1/4 tsp of methi seeds
  • add 1 tsp of ginger-garlic paste and saute well in low flame
  • toss in about 10 or 15 garlic pods and saute them along
  • once the garlic is tanslucent, add chopped onion (1 big size onion or 20 pearl onions) and saute until light brown
  • tomato is optional.. if adding add at this stage and saute well
  • sprinkle salt, 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of red chilly powder, 2 tsp of dhania powder, 1 tsp of curry powder (optional)
  • add 1 can of red kidney beans. just add the beans alone..drain the water and discard. (if using fresh beans, soak it in water the previous night and add.. u may want to cook for more whistles though..) 
  • saute the beans for couple more minutes so the masala coats them well and the preservative smell fades off
  • add tamarind juice (soak a goose berry size tamarind in little water for few minutes and squeeze it to extract the juice)
  • add 2 cups of water (adjust water per desired consistency.. the trick is to add quarter cup of water more than the desired consistency)
  • add 2 to 3 tbsp of  canned coconut milk (if preserving per my tip, use 2 or 3 cubes)
  • stir well and adjust the salt and spices per taste
  • pressure cook the curry for 2 whistles
  • delicious red kidney beans cooker curry is ready in minutes
  • serve hot with rice or dosa or rotis

  2. Thanks! My mom is my inspiration to make simple yet delicious dishes. She was a working woman and never had the luxury to spend hours in the kitchen. But whatever she makes, she makes it tasty and quick! Never acquired her 'kai pakkuvam' to this day though!
