Hello friends,hope everyone is doing good and happy to see you all after a short break.In my family one after the other was sick in the last two months and some of the personal work which kept me away from blogging.Now things are getting better and back to the routine.

Today's recipe is a delicious curry which can be made with the mixed vegetables and fresh beans.This curry goes very well with roti and rice,for this recipe I used fresh cranberry beans.

Cranberry beans are white beans with red marks which highly rich in protein and fiber.These beans are also called as borlotti beans.

  • Keep it in the medium flame for 4- 5 minutes or till the masala gets blended well.Garnish it with coriander leaves.
  • Serve it with roti or rice.

  • Instead of cranberry beans fresh green peas can be used.
  • Other veggies such as carrot,broccoli also be used.
  • If the masala gets stick to the pan add a tbs of oil to it.
  • Saute the ground paste till the raw smell goes off. 
  • The red color marks on the cranberry beans will disappear after cooking.
  • If you don't want to use coconut use one more onion and tomato while sauting but adding the coconut paste gives nice flavor and taste to the curry.
  • Use half a tsp of garam masala powder and 2 tsp of  ginger&garlic paste if you are not using coconut.
