Indian style Red bean(Azuki) dish

The Azuki beans are a common ingredient in many japanese sweets. I just googled and found that it is also common in the chinese cuisine. In the northern part of India, the Red Kidney bean(called as Rajma) curry is a common dish. I tried making Azuki bean curry in the Rajma curry style and it turned out to be very delicious.

Ingredients:

1. Tomato
2. Onion
3. Azuki bean
4. Pinch of turmeric powder, corriander powder.
3. Curry Powder
4. Salt
5. Oil

Procedure:

1. Keep the red beans soaked in water for about 2 hours. It is the same as done with Rajma. This saves a lot of cooking time.
2. Boil the red beans with enough curry powder, salt, pinch of corriander powder and a pinch of turmeric powder.
3. Shallow fry onion and tomato with enough salt and curry powder.
4. Add the boiled beans to the shallow fried onion and tomato and stir it in low flame for two minutes.

And you obtain the delicious red bean curry as shown below.
