3. Add blended tomatoes and tomato puree and sauté further.

5. Add the precooked beans and water and simmer for 10 minutes till gravy thickens.

NB-I used tinned precooked beans but you can soak dry beans over night and pressure cook them for recipe. Mixture of beans is personal preference.

  19. Dear Nayana
    How are you? Here after a long time..and back home in India now.
    ( I was bit tired of addressing you as simply.food, and picked up your name from another comment above.)
    This dish looks really good..pre-cooking the beans will be tough but will try..I am bit sick of eating meat for last 3 months, and it will be a great dish for me.
    Have a nice weekend
