ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can green beans
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon split white Urad Dal
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 5 small dried red chilies
- 1⁄8 teaspoon asafoetida powder
- 12 curry leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
directions
- In a largish saucepan put the kidney beans, the tomatoes and their liquid.
- Drain the can of green beans and add to the saucepan.
- Start heating the vegetables over medium heat., stirring occasionally until hot.
- In a small frying pan put the oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, cumin seeds, and the small red chilies-each chili broken into pieces. If desired, you may add a little extra of each of these ingredients.
- Heat the spices over high heat until the mustard seeds are popping and the urad dal is light brown. Quickly stir in the asafetida and curry leaves.
- Add the spices in the oil to the vegetables and stir to blend.
- Check for salt. Sometimes the canned beans can be quite salty, so you may not need to add salt.
- Turn off heat and garnish with cilantro (optional).
- Variations: 1. use different types of canned vegetables; 2. add onion and/or garlic at the start of the recipe and fry for a while in oil before adding the vegetables; 3. instead of the typical southern spices use a northern blend of spices (1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon cayenne powder and 1/4 teaspoon garam masala or use a spice blend as desired).

I like to eat a variety of food so have lots of different kinds of recipes that I have added and reviewed. Probably the favorite foods that I have reviewed are the ones with Nutella in the ingredients.
