    double beans kurma recipe

    Double Beans Kurma recipe with step by step photos. A one pot, easy to make side dish made in a pressure cooker that can be served as a side dish to chapathis, pooris.

    It also goes well as a side dish with pulaos.

    We love the fresh ones during the season time. It is always a pleasure to remove them from the pods just like how we remove the peas from their pods. If you cannot find the fresh ones, don’t feel bad.

    You can find the dry double beans packets in grocery stores.

    When you cannot find the fresh ones, you can always use the dried ones after soaking it overnight in water to soften them up.

    Double beans are a good source of protein and you can add them in pulaos, stews, salads and soups to help increase your daily protein intake.

    If I have them on hand, I always add them to whatever pulao or side dish that I make when I pack lunch for the children.

    double beans kurma

    We at home love to have this Double Beans Kurma more than in any other form and I serve them with chapathis and pooris. I love to have them with rice too.

    This kurma comes in handy when ever there are no vegetables in the fridge.

    I have made this directly in the pressure cooker to save time.

    But you can also make them in an open pan and also keep in mind that in this way of cooking, it will take longer time as the beans will need more time to get cooked properly.

    Double Beans Kurma Recipe with stepwise photos:
