Enjoy................................
- 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.
