Broad Beans Gravy


Skipping Dal on meals is not likable for all
But always consuming Dal is also felt boring. 
So here is another dish, mostly we prepare in summer ,because of its spicy ,tangy, soury, and mild sweetness of this gravy gollapes the rice balls into our mouth.

 Once we taste it we will forget about the Dal.
You can also keep this in refrigerator for next day because it will not stale  and the taste is much better than the previous day.

 Ingredients:

 1 Cup Dried broad beans
2 Onions sliced
2 Tomato chopped
1 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
½ Cup coconut paste
1 Cup Coconut milk 
1 Pinch Hing
½ tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Red chili powder 
1 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Garam masala
1 tsp Methi seeds
1 tsp Fennel seeds 
½ tsp Mustard seeds
½ tsp Cumin seeds
4 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tbsp grated jaggery
2 Dried red chili
