Kidney Bean, is a big flat creamish coloured bean. Its very tasty & has a creamy texture to it. In India, you get these in 2 sizes.. a medium one & a giant big one. I usually buy the big ones as we like those.
UPDATE: These are called Double beans in the store. I picked up the packed from Nilgiris in Chennai.
This curry is my Mom's recipe & comes out great. Its easy & delicious too!
So this curry is off to Srivalli of Cooking 4 all seasons, whos hosting the "Curry Mela". Thanks Sri for hosting a great event!
Ingredients:
Kidney Bean - 1 cup
Coconut - 1/4 cup
G.Chillies - 3
Ginger - 1" piece
Garlic - 1 pod
Tomato -1
Onion - 1
Jeera - Dhania powder - 1 tsp
Salt -to taste
Oil - 2 tsp
Method:
1. Soak the kidney bean over night. Pressure cook for just 1 whistle next day. The bean has to retain its shape & not get mushy.

Also do you add raw garlic to make the maasolu?

Looks nice! The gravy is different from the red one I make! I usually use Kashmiri Rajma - The slightly smaller dark red version. This one looks good - a North South Combo:)
