Fresh Kidney Beans are seasonal. Available during the winter months, they can be used in a variety of dishes. Today I have posted a Humman, which is a coconut based gravy. It can be served either with Rice, Neer Dosa, Roti or even with bread.
Ingredients :
- 250 gms shelled fresh Kidney beans
- 1 medium sized potato
- 1/2 of a large coconut grated
- 12 roasted Byadgi or Kashmiri chillies
- 1 tbsp Tamarind paste
- Salt
- 1 tsp Hing/asafoetida
- 3 tbsps coconut oil
Method:
Deskin the Potato, wash and chop into tiny cubes. Pressure cook with the fresh Kidney beans in 500ml (2 glasses) of water with a little salt to two whistles. Grind the grated coconut, roasted red chillies, Hing and tamarind to a smooth paste. Pour the ground masala into the cooked beans and Potato mixture, adjust salt and add enough water to get a gravy of pouring consistency. Boil well. Drizzle with coconut oil. Mix thoroughly, cover and keep aside for half an hour for the flavours to infuse before serving.
