Three bean curry / No onion No garlic Recipe

by



Three bean curry uses three types of beans like garbanzo beans, kidney beans and white beans. This is also a no onion-garlic recipe. The curry is prepared with cooked beans, ground tomato paste, freshly ground masala powder and coconut oil. Here you grind some beans to get a thick gravy. This curry pairs well with chapathis.
