I made this Indian dish for a magazine that I have been working with lately. I was skeptical when they handed me a bag of beans that I was supposed to use for the recipe. I thought, how in the world would I make this look pretty? Well I guess I proved myself wrong and ended up really liking the recipe in the end. You’ve got to give it a try and serve with rice and of course some naan!
