Ingredients needed

Onion – 2 finely chopped
Tomatoes – 2 finely chopped
Ginger – 1 inch piece finely chopped
Garlic cloves – 4 finely chopped
Green chillie – 2 finely chopped
Mixed beans – 1/2 cup
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Salt as required

Garam Masala Powder -1/2 tsp

For the seasoning

Cumin seeds/jeera -1 tsp

Preparation

Soak beans for 5-6 hours or overnight. Pressure cook beans with salt till soft.

Method

Heat oil, add cumin seeds, when they sizzle, add finely chopped onions and saute till they turn translucent.

Then add finely chopped chillies, ginger and garlic. Saute for some more time.

Add turmeric powder, all the spice powder and finely chopped tomatoes and cook till tomatoes become mushy.

Now add the cooked beans, needed salt, a cup of water and simmer for 6-7 minutes till everything gets mixed well. ( since we have already added salt to the beans while cooking ,add less salt now)

You can adjust the consistency of the gravy as you prefer.

You can prepare this dry also and have it hot as a tea time snack.

Give your kids when they come back from school. It is quite filling and prevent them from gorging on unhealthy food.
